We are so looking forward to bringing together our Memory Quilt to commemorate Lockdown 2020/21 and what it meant to all of you. You can now hand in or send squares to us at 29 George Street, Perth. Please take part and help to make a unique and very special quilters’ take on the lockdown. It doesn’t matter whether you’re an experienced quilter, as long as you can make a square.
