2015 Quilt Show
In the lead up to the group's quilt show on 21-22 March, the group has a couple of displays in Ivanhoe and Greensborough to show off some of our fabulous quilters and their work.
Deb has one of her amazing quilts on show at the customer service area in the Banyule Council offices at 275 Upper Heidelberg Rd, Ivanhoe. It's called 'Dance of the Butterflies'.
At Greensborough Shopping Centre go have a look at the Diamond Valley Community Support shop (next to Riot Art & Craft) - we have a full window display of work. You have to see it in person - photos through glass just don't cut it.
And after you have done that, put our show details in your diaries so you don't forget to come - 21-22 March at the Lower Plenty Senior Citizens Centre, 86 Main Rd, Lower Plenty. There you will be able to see everything else we do, meet some of our members and even join up if you would like to!
