News Update
Congratulations to Sue Vernari, winner of the beautiful Quilt Encounter raffle quilt “Wheels of Life“. Proceeds from the raffle going to Ski for Life.
SA Quilters Vice President, Julie Symons, presented the 2023 Royal Adelaide Show Junior textile winner Mia Stevens with her ribbon and her prize sponsored by SA Quilters.
Mia is following in the footsteps of her mother and grandmother who are quilters. Mia hand stitched the hexies and pieced the quilt which was then quilted by her grandmother on her long arm machine.
