After the disappointment of having the Stanthorpe Ag Show postponed in January, the Stitchcraft Sub Committee is busily preparing for and looking forward to the rescheduled show on Saturday 23 and Sunday 24 April.
As the show is being held over two days only, entries will be accepted on Thursday 21 April from 8.30am to 12 noon.
Judging will then commence from 1pm that day.
Our experienced judges this year are coming from Toowoomba.
Collection time for entries and prizes after the show closes will be on Sunday 24 from 3.30pm.
This year we have introduced a new section for our youth, which includes patchwork and quilting, sewing, knitting and crochet, needlework, and embroidery.
We already have a number of entries from the school children for needlework and are hoping to encourage the youth to enter in other stitchcraft sections as well.
Our sponsors have been incredibly generous – we are very thankful.
The talented people of our district are encouraged to enter their work for the enjoyment of all who visit the show and in particular our stitchcraft display.
A regular feature is our Viewers’ Choice, and this year’s theme is a Christmas decoration.
A special addition this year is the Stewards’ Choice in memory of Jeannie With, who was Chief Steward for many years.
Once again, our quilt raffle will be drawn on Sunday at 1pm, and this year we have quilts for both first and second prizes.
We look forward to seeing you all at the show and our Stitchcraft display.
