✨ Sneak Peek #1 ✨

The attention to detail in this year's CWA of Victoria State Exhibition is simply extraordinary.

Just look at the intricate hand-smocking and delicate needlework featured on this beautiful children's dress. Some might say it’s fit for a princess (maybe even Charlotte)!!

It's just one of more than 1,850 exhibits you'll discover at this year's exhibition.

Every stitch tells a story—and every exhibit reflects the remarkable skills of our members from across Victoria.

💜 Community kindness in action 💜
A huge thank you to everyone who donated warm winter coats to support women and children escaping family violence.
Today, Melanie, CEO of Djirra, gratefully received this generous donation. As the colder months set in, these coats will help provide warmth, comfort and dignity to women and children as they begin rebuilding their lives.
Every act of kindness makes a difference. A warm coat is more than just clothing - it's a reminder that our community cares and that no one has to face difficult times alone.
Thank you to all our Branch members who contributed to this wonderful donation. Your generosity will have a meaningful impact on the lives of Aboriginal women and children supported by Djirra.
💜
