It's a stitch up! Patchwork display returns

Once again, Phillip Island Patchworkers' group is showcasing quilts and associated crafts over the long weekend and would love you to come and have a look.

The display will be open from Saturday November 1, through to Tuesday November 4 from 10am to 4pm at the Newhaven Hall, Cleeland Street Newhaven.

Admission is $8 and children are free. All proceeds go directly to our local emergency services and charities to contribute to their fabulous community support.

Not only will there be the many fine patchwork quilts and other items made by this talented group, the wonderful work produced by the Wonthaggi Woodcrafters is also on display.

There will be a trading table with lots of goodies to purchase, and the famous Devonshire Tea available for $5.

Jeanette Clark from Patchwork Maze will have a shop set up where you can purchase a range of patchwork fabrics, patterns and accessories. Jeanette is a great supporter of the club and every year she organises a pattern and donates the fabric the group uses to create the gorgeous raffle quilts.

You can have a go at patchwork yourself by assisting group members who will be sewing quilts for their Comfort Quilt program over the weekend.

These quilts are donated locally to community members in need.

"Our love of craft and friendship is what brings us together," said the group spokesperson.

"We all enjoy what we do, we like to share skills and of course have a chat. Come along and join in the fun and friendship - new members are warmly welcomed."

If you would like more information or would like to join this friendly club - please contact President Christine Kloprogge on 0437 731 403 or catch up with one of our members on Cup

Weekend where you can pick up an information flyer and yearly calendar.
