PATCHES of Cooroy, the craft group that enjoys fun, friendship and helping a good cause, will hold its biennial quilt and craft show this weekend.

Open from 10am to 4pm on Saturday and Sunday in the RSL Memorial Hall, Maple St, Cooroy, the show will be an inspiration for the quilt enthusiast and art quilters alike as well as having a beautiful display of embroidery, knitting, bags, bobbin lace, beading, wall hangings and general craft items, and a unique doll display.

Angel Flight is the chosen charity for their quilt raffle proceeds.

A highlight of the show will be a viewers’ choice Fabric Challenge for which members were asked to make an item incorporating two pieces of supplied fabric.

Some of the members exchanged fabric squares, which were then made into scrappy quilts. Many of these will also be on display.

It is amazing to see the diversity of quilts that can be made from scraps, and it shows the talents and creativeness of the members.

There will be merchant stalls with lots of goodies, a members’ sales table and a craft trash and treasure making for a happy shopping experience.

Entry is $3 with morning and afternoon teas available. Grab some friends and come along for a great day in Cooroy.
