In June, the Tasmanian Quilting Guild will open entries to Island Quilts 2026 (https://tasquiltguild.com.au/island-quilts/island-quilts-event-information-2026/). This large, always exciting and diverse quilt exhibition will run from 1st to 3rd October in the MAC02 shed in Hunter St, Hobart, in conjunction with the Craft Alive trade show. For those interested in entering, more information can be found in the Island Quilts 2026 Handbook (https://tasquiltguild.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2026/03/IQ-Handbook-2026-Master.pdf).
The Tasmanian Quilting Guild have also asked whether Stitching and Beyond members would like to exhibit some textile artworks in a limited hanging space at one end of the quilt exhibition. Pieces are not currently limited in size and don’t need to be quilts, but must be able to be pinned to a felt wall. At this stage we are collecting expressions of interest from members for further discussion with the TQG. If you have either one or two finished artworks that you would be interested in showing, please email information regarding your proposed entries (title, medium and size) and your contact details to [email protected] by 5 pm on May 31st.
