After the amazing success with the Bluff Point Quilters exhibition held at The Lawrence Museum in 2022, the exhibition will be held again this year at the Lawrence Museum, on Saturday September 23.

There will be an array of quilts to view, some available for purchase, as well as other needle craft items. Visitors will be able to wander through the exhibition, quirkily arranged with the museum artifacts.

The exhibition will be supported by trade stalls from Grafton Textiles, the Handstitched Owl, New Horizons Quilting, and the Grafton Floral Art Group. Knife and scissor sharpening will also be available, so bring along your blunt knives and scissors.

For the bargain hunters, there will be a massive ‘Trash & Treasure’ stall, and the Museum Recycle and collectors’ shop be open too. The Museum Gardening Grannies will have both indoor and outdoor plants for sale.

As always, the admission $10, includes a delicious, country style morning or afternoon tea.

Visitors will be asked to participate in the Viewer’s Choice for best quilt, and raffles will offer great prizes.

The Bluff Point Quilters have worked together for many years for charities, they meet once a fortnight now, in addition to their usual group meetings. In the past year they have made over 200 children’s quilts, which are donated to organisations such as Sydney Children’s Hospital, Lismore Hospital, Mental Health, Archies Army at Harden, and when needed for events such as fires and floods.

Profits from this event will be donated by the Bluff Point Quilters to the ongoing operation of the Museum.

Roz Jones, Lawrence Museum vice president said, “We are delighted The Bluff Point Quilters have decided to hold their popular Quilt Exhibition at the Lawrence Museum again this year. We very much appreciate their support and contribution to the Museum. The exhibition will be open from 9.30am – 4.00pm. There is plenty of free parking space.
