Out on the razzle

This Saturday, the frock is heading out and boy is she happy about it.
She'll be heading over to the Quilt hanging at Ashburton.

She'll be there, for your inspection if you would like to pop over and check her out.

The quilt Hanging is to raise funds to get some gorgeous quilts quilted and ready to give to those affected by the horrific Victorian bush fires.

Jan from Sewjourn has organised so much and done a great job getting people involved.

There will be scones and jam and cream available to have with your tea or coffee.
You can buy a raffle ticket for your chance to win a quilt (AND the winner gets to choose between two different and equally beautiful quilts)
There will be over 40 quilts on display - many of which are a collaboration of more than one person’s work, many of which are pieced together from ’stashes’.

There will be a display of the amazing Kellie’s work!!!! 3 of Kellie’s incredible quilts in person and some of her cushions as well.

(This photo of Kellie's work has been blatantly stolen form the sewjourn blog)

11am - 4.30pm
LightHouse, Ashburton Uniting Church
3-7 Ashburn Grove, Ashburton, Vic, 3147
Gold coin donation entry.

    I saw that dress at the Stitches and Craft Show - I was like a kid - "Mum, it's the Selvedge Dress! Come Look!" She's (the dress) even better in person.

    I'm with Gina! Wish I was close enough to see all the marvelous stitchery firsthand.

    Is it possible to buy tickets long-distance, or is it "must be present to win"?

    Love those quilts, long this cause.

    Gorgeous quilt - thanks for sharing!

    I hope the dress enjoys her outing. Good on you for sharing her for such a good cause.

    Okay, I just have to ask. Did the parasol and chair get to go, too? No playing favorites now.

    Thanks so much Jodie for the lend of 'The Dress" - it was much admired and had a good pozzi with lots of space around for everyone to walk and talk as they spotted their favourite selvedge. I hope she didn't mind my maybe inappropriate ruffle shot - the pink was so pretty I wanted to see it! The door prizes were very sought after too - you generous girl you! We had a wonderful day and so glad you were part of it too!
