The New Quilt

Many of us really enjoyed the first New Quilt exhibition in 2021, a beautifully curated show in the fantastic Hawkesbury Regional Gallery. This year we have additional pleasure of seeing our Life Member Val Nadin’s work in the exhibition - congratulations on being juried into this exhibition. Well worth a visit to historic Windsor.
