Annual Quilt Exhibition
19th Annual Member's Exhibition
28–29 November 2026
Our 19th Exhibition will be held on Saturday 28th and Sunday 29th November 2026. Our members will be showcasing many beautiful quilts that they have made during the year.
The exhibition features displays of handmade quilts, patchwork and textiles, and has become one of the signature events for Bungendore and draws visitors from across the state, the nation and overseas.
The exhibition includes a members' challenge, raffle quilts, viewer's choice, quilt block hunt and guessing competition. We have a sales table providing good quality, handmade craft which make ideal gifts for Christmas.
If you are interested in becoming a member and getting involved please visit our membership page.
Annual raffle
The Bungendore Quilters raffle raises funds for our gift quilts and other projects as well as to continue to hold our annual exhibition.
Tickets are $2 each and are available until the end of the exhibition on the Sunday.
The raffle is drawn by "the men" who put up our exhibition and pull it down again, with winners notified by phone and published in the Regional Independent. We have the men draw the raffle so there is no possible collusion if a quilter is drawn out.
2025 Challenge Fabric
Three different types to choose from
2026 Annual challenge
Each year, during our annual quilt exhibition, Bungendore Quilters holds a challenge for our members and the winners are chosen by a Viewer's Choice. The entries are displayed for our visitors to see on black screens or tables.
Use of supplied fabric
This years challenge is to make a flat (not 3D) completed “quilt” no larger than 2 foot square (61cm square). Using some (or all) of one of the challenge fabrics available (see image to left).
There are three different fabrics to choose from. The piece must be finished — 3 layers, quilted and bound as you would for a larger quilt.
