Awards Ceremony: 1pm Wednesday

The awards ceremony is at the new time of 1pm on Wednesday 22 June 2016. A comprehensive online gallery of prize winning quilts will be posted on the QuiltNSW website soon after that. The results will also be shared on QuiltNSW Facebook page and Instagram.

In the meantime, you can download a copy of the Sydney Quilt Show Catalogue (1.8MB PDF).Find out where your quilt will be hanging, read about the special exhibits, look up the timetable for the Meet the Teacher demonstrations and more.

An abridged version of the catalogue is available at the show. If you have entered a quilt, you can collect your copy from the volunteer sign in desk. Remember to wear your exhibitor ribbon and/or membership badge.

Quilt Show Photography Policy

And don't forget to pack your camera or smartphone! You are welcome to take as many photos as you like of the exhibition for your own personal use. Posting your photos online is fine too so long as you have obtained consent from the quilt maker and include attribution. Please respect the copyright of our members. We look forward to a stream of colour, excitement and quilts on Instagram at #sydneyquiltshow.
