Illawarra Quilters Inc

"more than quilting"

textile art, embroidery, knitting, crochet,

sewing, community assistance . . .

In 2027, Illawarra Quilters Inc will be celebrating its

40th Anniversary.

We will announce what we are planning in the coming months.

Welcome to Illawarra Quilters website.

Some highlights from 2025/26:

We organized a Seniors' Week expo, enjoyed Retreat@Home and Retreat@atThe Tops, contributed to Dapto, Albion Park, Robertson, Gerringong and the NSW Guild Shows.
We had some great bus trips to Sydney, Canberra and Braidwood visiting quilt shows and shops
Special events have also included our Birthday Challenge, Volunteer Day, Members 25 Year celebration and our end of year Christmas party.
Our members work tirelessly sewing, knitting and crocheting to support local charities in the Illawarra and the Sydney Children's Hospital.
We participated in some amazing workshops, learning lots of new techniques and skills
