TIMELESS Quilters are preparing for their much anticipated exhibition, which was postponed as a result of the May floods.

The display will be held at Panthers Auditorium on Friday and Saturday 15-16 August and will include quilts, wall hangings and table centres.

“The highlight will be the Australian Alpaca Wool stall from the Hunter Valley, which is a great attraction for knitters,” said Timeless Quilter Ruth Durrant.

“We have tried to bring in some stalls from outside Port Macquarie.

“Other stalls will include Stitched and Framed, Prosew, Robyn’s Needlecraft, Indigo Niche, Everything Country, Hanging by a Thread, and Shop with Kaye (Yazzii Bags).”

There will be a member’s challenge, which involves using a given piece of fabric to be used in a construction of their choice.

Local high schools will also feature displays of their work.

The Timeless Quilters Show is a fundraiser, donating to three local charities; Endeavour Clubhouse (supporting mental health recovery), Liberty Domestic and Family Violence Specialist Services, and Lifeline.
