Special Exhibit at Sydney Quilt Show

One of our members, Alison Muir, is having a special exhibition at the Sydney Quilt Show from Wednesday, 11 June, through Sunday, 15 June at the Exhibition Centre at Darling Harbour. I've seen some of her work at our monthly meetings and know that her exhibition will be worth checking out.

This month we had quilts from Margaret ...

We also got a private viewing of the Mosman Youth Art Prize where one of our members and the son of one of our members had works entered. Too cool.
