Amazing display of quilts

By BRIDGET COOK

A CRANBOURNE quilters club will showcase their latest creations in an exhibition next month, all for a good cause.
St John’s Anglican Church is celebrating its 150th birthday with a Quilt and Art Exhibition, to be held on 5 and 6 April.
The quilts have been made by St John’s Quilters and Friends group, which started three years ago.
There will be more than 100 quilts on display, and a number of them will be up for sale.
Group co-ordinator Dianne Mitchell urged people to come alone.
“The art is from local identities,” she said.
“The profits are to go to Blairlogie Living and Learning — a community-based organisation, offering quality services that are client focused while at the same time offering a valuable resource and facility to the local community.
“There will also be a ‘nostalgia corner’, which will be showing items over 100 years old to the modern.”
The exhibition will be open from 9.30am to 4.30pm on Saturday 5 April and from noon to 4.30pm the next day.
Entry cost is $5 entry and morning and afternoon tea and lunch will be available.
For more information call 5995 9763.
