13th SAQG Travelling Exhibition
Since its inception, the South African Quilters’ Guild Travelling Exhibition aims to raise awareness for the art of quiltmaking by showcasing the work of its members.
The Travelling Exhibition quilts travel the country for up to 2 years to guilds and groups, exhibition spaces and galleries to expose quilting to other artists and the general public.
ALL members of the SAQG are invited to participate in the next SAQG Travelling Exhibition by making a quilt inspired by the theme ‘Sew Conscious’. We welcome traditional, modern and art quilts!
