SHOWING NOW Embroiderers' Guild Exhibition 'Threads of Life' : 26 Feb to 13 March www.embguildsa.org.au
QGSA is very pleased to announce that from March 1st 2010 our frame and goods storage will be at the Adelaide Showground. It is with great excitement that we thank our newest sponsor the Royal Adelaide Show. Having the frames available 'onsite' during our own Festival of Quilts will save a great deal in travel time and organisation. We are also privileged to facilitate on-site judging for the exhibition and I'm sure our volunteers will be most impressed with the wonderful venue.
For groups hiring the frames, the Showground is a well known location and easily accessible. Make sure you contact June Bull early to make a booking. Read all the paperwork thoroughly and ensure that your pick up person arrives at the Showground with the signed authority to release form.
