Quilted Patchwork Competition

Quilted Patchwork Competition

Celebrate the artistry, creativity and skill of our talented patchworkers in the Group Final of the AgShows NSW Quilted Patchwork Competition. This event is a showcase of beautiful, handcrafted pieces—ranging from bags and table runners to cushions and quilts—all designed within a 1m x 1m square.

Please note, this is a Group Final competition and is not a qualifier for the Sydney Royal Easter Show. Winners will be recognised and rewarded at Group level, with prize money proudly sponsored by AgShows NSW.

This competition is a wonderful opportunity to highlight the talent and dedication of exhibitors across our communities—bringing patchwork lovers together to celebrate creativity and craftsmanship.
