Join us Saturday 1 November for the final Quilts at the Roundtable of 2025, with special guest, Jan Preston! Plus the unveiling of new quilts for the collection!

The 'Quilts at the Roundtable’ events offer a close-up experience of a selection of quilts from the Australian Quilt & Textile Collection. Each session is led by Lions Club of Quilters Victoria members who will take you through some of our most interesting works and textile history, along with how we preserve the quilts. We will also be unveiling new quilts at the November event!

Our special guest will be the amazing Jan Preston, an inspirational and thought provoking textile artist. Jan has overcome huge challenges in her life to continue with her passion of stitch. Come along and hear about Jan's creative journey and see her works that we have in the collection, along with some of her personal collection.

Thank You from the Heart

To everyone who joined us at A Lifetime in Stitches recently — thank you. Your presence, kindness, and appreciation for the treasures on offer turned this event into something truly special.

It was more than a sale — it was a celebration of a maker’s lifelong passion, and your thoughtful browsing, conversations, and purchases carried forward the spirit of the event.

Because of you, these cherished books, fabrics, tools, and memories have found new hands and new homes where they will continue to inspire. Even more importantly, your support ensures that the legacy of quilting and textile artistry will live on, with all proceeds going to the Australian Quilt & Textiles Collection.

From the bottom of our hearts — thank you for honouring this journey and helping keep the threads of creativity alive. 💕🧵

This once in a lifetime opportunity to explore and purchase these amazing treasures is on again this weekend in Trentham.

STARTING THIS WEEKEND. The Lions Club of Quilters Victoria would like to invite you to an upcoming special event. A Lifetime in Stitches - The Collection of a Devoted Applique quilt artist. Step into the story of a woman who stitched her life’s moments into cloth.

Every spool of thread, every treasured notion, every well-worn book bears the quiet mark of her hands and heart. Her world has been one of appliqué and patchwork — fabrics chosen not just for colour or pattern, but for the way they could hold a memory, capture a season, or whisper of far-off places.

This is more than a sale — it is the gentle unravelling of a lifetime’s passion. You will find shelves of quilting books, their pages softened by hours of dreaming; baskets of fabrics, some folded crisp, others pre-loved and marked with chalk; tools and notions, each one chosen for its perfect purpose; and patterns, both classic and rare, gathered over decades of dedication.

And there will truly be something for everyone — from fabric bundles, to hardback coffee-table quilting book bundles , and even beautifully presented fabric hampers, wrapped with care and ready in their own basket, perfect for gifting or treasuring. Antique sewing machines, lamps, rulers and more - all for sale!

This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity not to be missed. Spread over two weekends only, Saturday 13 and Sunday 14 September, Saturday 20th and Sunday 21st September - doors open strictly 10 am – 1 pm. No early arrivals no late openings - No pre-sales.

For those who understand the quiet joy of needle and thread, this is an invitation to gather the makings of your own quilting journey — and to carry forward the spirit of a maker who truly lived her craft.

15 West Street, Trentham.

All proceeds from ‘A Lifetime of Stitches’ will be going to the Australian Quilt & Textiles Collection. Please share this flyer with all who may be interested.
