Handmade goods will be on display for the St Andrews Presbyterian Gisborne Craft Group’s Quilt and Craft Show.
Showcasing their hard work throughout the year, the show will feature hand-sewn quilts made by group members and a variety of crafts.
One of the organisers Marion Place said there will be an impressive collection on display.
“Every second year we have a quilt show and some other crafts,” she said.
“We put the quilts in the church over the pews and on the walls, and the hall has morning tea and soup and things like that.
“We’ll also have other displays of crafts.”
Ms Place said while it is a small group of crafters, they have been very busy throughout the year with plenty of works to display.
She said they have been donated lots of beautiful fabrics, which they have used to create the quilts.
“We make quilts to donate to charities,” Ms Place said.
“We donate to the Gisborne and Kyneton foodbanks, the Salvation Army in Sunbury and Catholic Care in Bendigo.
“Usually we give away about 150 to 200 quilts a year, and this year we’ve already given away 60 this year and we have a big distribution, usually mid-November coming up to Christmas.”
Alongside the impressive crafts, some of the quilters will also be available on the day to talk about their work and where the quilts will be donated to after the show.
There will also be opportunities for card making and beading activities in the hall, alongside the refreshments.
The show will be held from 9am to 3pm on Saturday, October 4 at the St Andrews Presbyterian Church, Gisborne.
