Celebrate the National Trust Heritage festival in Hobsons Bay in 2024

The rich tapestry of quilt-making, in various forms from patchwork to whole cloth, has a profound historical legacy in most cultures, including Australia with its own unique history of patchwork quilts along with the stories of their makers.  Join us on Saturday, April 20th for a day of honouring quilts, as Seabreeze Quilters proudly hosts Rachaeldaisy Dodd, an acclaimed Australian quilt maker and designer renowned globally for her quilts. Rachaeldaisy will be showcasing her collection of quilts and sharing their stories in a Trunk Show not to be missed. While she pays homage to the timeless traditions of patchwork and quilting, Rachaeldaisy endeavours to introduce fresh perspectives and innovative techniques in her work, seamlessly connecting the rich past to the vibrant present.  Attendees, including members and visitors alike will have the opportunity to share their own quilts, unveiling the stories woven into each piece - whether personally crafted, gifted or acquired. Each quilt narrates a distinctive story, connecting it to a family or community and offering a captivating historical snapshot of its times.  Don't miss this chance to be part of a celebration where every stitch tells a tale, weaving together the intricate threads and connections of our shared heritage.
