North of the Yarra Quilters Guild

The North of the Yarra Quilters Guild is a group of people that have come together to share their enjoyment of patchwork, applique and quilting

We meet in the Senior Citizens Building in Gipson Street, Diamond Creek, a northern suburb of Melbourne. Our postal address is: PO Box 754, Eltham 3095, Victoria, Australia

Our group has casual sewing days every Thursday and a monthly Guild meeting, which often includes: mini workshops; presentations by speakers; stalls by patchwork related businesses.

We also run an annual retreat and Biennial Symposiums and Exhibitions for our members.

The Guild was formed in 1992, our aims are

To enable people with like interests to share their knowledge and enjoy meeting together
To promote their skills and expand their knowledge
To promote patchwork and quilting within the community

The NOTYQ Guild meets every Thursday during the day (from 10:00am) and evening (from 7:30pm) in the Senior Citizens Building, Gipson Street, Diamond Creek.

Visitors most welcome

North of the Yarra Quilters Exhibition 2013

5th and 6th October, 2013

I hope everyone is planning what they will be

entering in the show.

And what’s a NOTY exhibition without a challenge!

The 2013 Exhibition Challenge is “Covered Journal/Notebook”.

The journal/notebook is to be A5 size (approx 6” x 8½“) or smaller.

Again we have made it easy for you with no fabric, ric rac or anything else for you to use. You

can use whatever materials you like. The sky’s the limit!

If you have any queries, just ask one of the Show Committee members.
