The Hillview Bunyip Aged Care 13th Annual Quilt and Craft Show is on again this month at 22 A’Beckett Road, Bunyip from 18 to 20 August.
The first quilt and craft show began from humble beginnings 13 years ago with 90 quilts on display and has since grown to become one of the biggest attractions on Bunyip’s events calendar, attracting visitors from near and far. Last year 140 quilt entries were on show.
The show is the main fund-raising event for Hillview Aged Care and is run by the dedicated “Friends of Hillview” – a committee of hard-working individuals who work tirelessly to raise funds to improve the lives of the residents at the aged care hostel.
There will be lots of activities including a fabric and craft table, a garage sale, sausage sizzle and delicious Devonshire teas will be served indoors.
A magnificent quilt (pictured) will be the first prize in the raffle conducted over the weekend.
The show will open from 9.30am each day and conclude at 3pm.
Quilt entries for the show can be submitted by contacting organiser Barbara Dickinson on 0407 294 326.
