Welcome to Illawarra Quilters website.
Illawarra Quilters Inc. is dedicated to fostering the art of craft and hand made items, whether that be quilt making, knitting, crochet, thread works etc. Our members are a “crafty” lot that bring a wealth of knowledge, experience and willingness to share.
We welcome all skill sets, from beginner and knowing not a lot, to more experienced and encourage a friendly and supportive community.
Illawarra Quilters Inc. was formed in 1987 with 45 members; over the years our membership has increased to over 150.
Some of our highlights:
We have an annual Expo, held as part of Senior’s week celebrations
We have several workshops throughout the year, either by one of our members or a guest
We run great bus trips to Sydney, Canberra and Braidwood to see displays and quilt shows – maybe visiting a shop or two along the way
Our members have contributed some of their works to the local shows at QuiltNSW, Dapto, Albion Park and beyond. Many members have come away with a sash or rosette for their works
