Welcome to our 2013 Exhibition!

What a wonderful weekend for the opening of our Exhibition and for the Toowoomba Carnival of Flowers!

The transition of the Salo Centre from an empty hall to a celebration of quilts in a riot of colour and design is an amazing experience.  Here is a random example of some of the quilts on display that have pleased so many of our visitors so far.

Many thanks to all of the people who helped with the set up on Friday and all the members who will assist during this week.

Kathy R and Lyn L

Kathy and Lyn are doing a wonderful job with coordination of refreshments from the kitchen.

June's husband, Brian, helped to move our quilt stands and other infrastructure in the truck that Europcar provided "at a good price".

Our Art Quilt Group have another impressive display this year including examples from their "Portrait Challenge".

Our Community Quilting Group that makes quilts for donation to those in need in our community are demonstrating their work during the week and have a number of completed quilts on display.

And, a big "thank you and congratulations" to Sheila K, our 2013 Exhibition Convenor, shown here relaxing with her husband  at the point when we were ready to say "Let the Show Begin"!

Quilt Show 2013 News

With only 5 weeks to go, members of Toowoomba Quilters Club are busy promoting our week long exhibition  encouraging people to come along in September (dates in the sidebar)

We have purchased 2 magnetic car door signs and members are sharing these to spread the word in different parts of town.

Over the past weeks we have had quilts on display at the Toowoomba Tourist Information Centre encouraging travellers to come back to Toowoomba in September (Carnival of Flowers week)

Thank you to Sue H and Marleen K for supporting this initiative.
