2021 Sydney Craft and Quilt Fair postponed

 

From Intocraft, 4 August 2021
Sadly the Covid-19 situation in Sydney continues to decline to the point where it is clear that this event will not be able to run in September. Even if the lockdown ends by late August, the attendance of interstate exhibitors is impacted and the confidence of visitors to attend is also compromised. The Sydney Quilt Show is unable to run past October 1 under their terms and conditions and therefore pushing back to a later time is not a feasible option. In light of all these factors, it is devastating to announce that we have no other choice but to reschedule the fair to next year and our new dates will be Wednesday June 29 through to Sunday July 3, 2022 at Sydney Showground, Homebush. We extend our warmest regards to everyone in our community, and above all stay safe.

From Quilt NSW, 4 August 2021
With the extension of the lockdown in the greater Sydney region, and anticipated ongoing social distancing requirements, our partner Expertise Events has decided to reschedule the Sydney Craft and Quilt Fair to Wednesday 29 June to Sunday 3 July 2022. (See Intocraft Facebook Announcement.) 
This means that there will be no in-person Sydney Quilt Show event this year.
 
QuiltNSW is committed to providing its members with opportunities to share their quilts and to celebrate creativity. The exhibition sub-committee is actively exploring moving to a virtual event where all of the quilts are judged in the cloth, photographed and then displayed online. However, this is a significant logistical exercise and depends upon a number of factors including the easing of health restrictions and providing a safe environment for our volunteers. 
 
We will report back to you in mid-September, or earlier if there are any significant developments in our virtual show plans. In the meantime, please be assured that your quilts are safe and laying out flat.
