Last weekend Maree and I went to the E.L.F’s quilt show held at Carrington Primary School in Knoxfield, Melbourne. The E.L.F’s Quilting Group are a group of ladies who get together and make quilts and have a laugh or two at the same time.
Their biennial show had a huge range of quilts displayed as well as a table of things to buy, a viewers’ choice award, a raffle and a cafe. They had a $5 entrance fee and all the money that was raised was to be donated.
It was open to the public to enter quilts in so Maree decided to put a couple in just for fun. Maree said “It really is quite exciting having your quilts hanging with other quilts of such high caliber”.
It was a great afternoon, we got some new ideas, saw some amazing quilts and had a ball all round!

hi ladies,
Our last ever ELFs quilt show is on this weekend 4th and 5th August at Carrington Primary School Knoxfield Vic, so would love to see everyone there again. As you mentioned last time all our proceeds go to charities with a little to CPS art and craft program, in recognition of their support for our show. We have a great cafe with devonshire teas and soup and rolls, all lovingly cooked by ELFs. The trading table is full of things we make as well.
No judging just viewers choice to add interest.
Hope to see lots of people there for our last -The work involved in putting on our show every two years is starting to get to us so we want to go out on a high!
