About

Wauchope Patchwork Quilters holds a Quilt Show every two years. It has traditionally been held in a hall, where quilts are displayed, handwork made by members is for sale and traders sell quilting supplies. There is a raffle and morning teas are sold. In 2021, their Quilt Show was to take a different form. They were taking their quilts to the streets of Wauchope. Instead of in just one location, the quilts were to be displayed outside shops and in a number of venues: halls, churches, the Department Store, to name a few. Wauchope Patchwork Quilters saw this as a chance to showcase, not just their quilts but the town of Wauchope. The same Sales Table, Traders and raffle would be there, but morning /afternoon teas and meals will be available in the town's cafes and Clubs. Their Quilt raffle proceeds always go to a local charity. But after the year that 2020 had been, this uplifting, vibrant event was to enliven us all. Imagine the distress then when their Quilt Show had to be cancelled - due to Covid. So much work had been done. Now Patchwork Treasures has been re-scheduled - for 2022. May nothing occur this year to prevent the Show taking place. Same format; one year later. Entry Cost Adult $10 - Accompanied students are free. Tickets are cash sale only. The locations of ATM's are shown on the Map. This ticket provides entry to exhibition halls for 3 days plus a Showbag of 'Goodies', including a raffle ticket.
