Quilt Display by Mt Perry Quilters

Mt Perry Quilters started sewing together about 24 years ago when Ruth Wagners love of sewing and quilt making brought a few ladies together to share their love of fabric and creating. Ruth has now moved away but has loaned some of the quilts from the beginning and thru the years and her new found love of art quilts, for display. Narelle was also there from the beginnings and she has some beautiful quilts and hand sewing and craft on display. Our current members are very talented ladies and this is a must see to believe the work that goes into the beautiful crafted quilts and patchwork and craft.
