Graduate Women Qld Sunshine Coast Quilt Raffle

This exquisite quilt (SB) was created and donated by member Sylvia Hovey (on right). The pattern is Shadow Kaleidoscope One Bloc Wonder - an apt description. Sylvia is an award-winning quilter, receiving first prize for one of her quilts in the 2023 Caloundra Quilt Show. The quilt is worth in excess of $500.

The proceeds of this raffle will go toward the bursaries that the branch awards each year to assist girls and women, undertaking post-school studies.
