May 26th, 2024Got it covered: Spa Quilters all ready for show

The Spa Quilters Guild of Daylesford are raffling a unique quilt in the lead up to their biennial quilt show happening over the King’s Birthday weekend.

The beautiful keepsake creation featuring colourful blocks of work done by multiple guild members is first prize in the raffle, with three further three attractive prizes also to be won.

The first prize quilt is now on show at the Bendigo Bank, Daylesford, and features scenes of winter, the theme of this year’s show.

The biennial show is the guild’s major fundraiser supporting its charitable works and will be held in St Peter’s Catholic Church in Daylesford’s Duke Street on Saturday June 8 from 10am to 5pm, and Sunday June 9 from 12noon to 4 pm.

 “The church provides a unique and interesting venue to exhibit our patchwork and quilting efforts,” guild president Charlotte Brunt says.

Trading tables will be available and a food van will be on site, with entry to the show by gold coin donation.

The guild is running street stall sales of the raffle tickets and they will also be available to buy at the show, with the draw to take place on Sunday afternoon at the show.
