Countdown to QuiltWest 2025
Less than a week to go until QuiltWest starts. There will be 154 quilts on display from 77 WAQA members, plus quilts from Toodyay, Pathfinders Group, WAQA Challenge, the QuiltWest 2025 Judges and a few from the WAQA collection. QuiltWest starts on Thursday 31 July at 9:30am and goes through to 4pm Sunday 3rd August, so you have four days to enjoy the display. With quilts entered in ten different categories (17 when you count the Amateur and Professional separately), there will be an enormous variety of style and techniques, everyone is bound to find something to admire.
QuiltWest will have pretty much the same space as last year in the Robinson Pavilion, so you will be able to get up close to the quilts, just remember only the people with white gloves can touch the quilts. You can also check out the WAQA groups who will be around the perimeter with demonstrations of their work, sign up or renew your membership and take part in a daily raffle. Sounds like it will be a lot of fun, once again!!
Go to the CraftAlive website – craftalive.com.au – for ticket sales, signing up for classes, paid parking (accessible through gate 8) and transport information. WAQA members can use the discount code provided in an earlier QNews for a $5 discount on adult tickets. Bring your WAQA template if buying tickets at the Showground on the day.
See you at QuiltWest!!
