The Northampton ‘Airing of the Quilts’ and Dongara ‘Hanging of the Quilts’ were attended by a group of nine WAQA members who travelled in three cars and stayed at the Dongara Tourist Park.
The first photo shows a large Community Quilt. Individual, 13″ squares made by Northampton community members, aged 3 years to 96 years old, were sewn together to make the communities ‘Biggest Quilt’. After the event it will be cut into single-bed sized quilts for needy local people.
On our way back from Northampton to Dongara we stopped to admire the ‘HMAS Sydney’ Memorial in Geraldton
This Year, for the first time, the Dongara ‘Hanging of the Quilts’ was held in the Irwin Recreation Centre
It was a wonderful weekend of ‘Eye Candy’.
