Quilt exhibition in Hopetoun
The Hopetoun Patchwork Group are holding its biennial exhibition on the weekend of April 18 and 19, 2026.
We welcome everyone to our town to see what an enthusiastic group of people can achieve.
Carpool when you can to make the experience more affordable.
Our exhibition includes not only patchwork but also crochet, embroidery, and other craft items.
You will also be able to see some of the items made for our local Aged Care facility and other charity organisations.
We have been fortunate to secure the Travelling Suitcase exhibition to add to our event. Each year, Vic Quilters holds a challenge for members to create a quilt under specific parameters.
The twelve best are selected and made available for display at various locations in the State.
There will be two shops in attendance, and members will have a trading table with many bargains.
A quilt made by members will be raffled. It has been beautifully embroidered by hand and pieced together by machine.
Helen Leech from Mitiamo expertly quilted it for us.
Tickets are available from members or on the day.
All proceeds will be divided among the Historical Society, the Powerhouse Arts Studio, and the Memorial Hall.
