Spring Show 2024

The Dias Quilters Guild will host our annual quilt show from 25 – 28 September 2024. We will once again showcase the talent of our members.

It is also a tradition to offer workshops during the week of the annual show. We strive to utilise the expertise of SAQG accredited teachers for these workshops.

Quilters are avid shoppers and always looking to build their “stash”, for this reason, we invite vendors to the Show to sell their products and tempt the avid shoppers. Our Tearoom is a popular venue for visitors and members to chat over a cup of tea/coffee and delicious treat. 

The annual quilt show is a wonderful platform to create public awareness and promote the Guild.

To add to this year’s show, the Cake Decorator’s Guild will be doing a special display – they’re ‘quilting’ cakes for you!

 

Enter your quilt

We invite all members to enter as many quilts or quilted items as they would like – the more the better – we’d like to fill the hall to overflowing with your work!  This is, after all, the reason for the show.

There are, however, a few rules so please consult the document below, and download the entry form – you’ll need one for each item you’re entering.

Just a small change – the Quilt Take In day has changed to Tuesday 17 September 2024.  Jurying will take place on Wednesday, 18 September.  If you cannot make the 17th, you’re welcome to drop your items at Skatkislap before, there will be entry forms available there.  No late entries unfortunately.
