A celebration of clever creations, the upcoming craft show at the Proserpine Museum will exhibit the intricate and expressive needlework and sewing from a host of local ladies’ groups.
The first of its kind, the event will be relaxed and interactive with everyone invited to simply ‘walk-through’, marvel at the locally crafted masterpieces and stop for a tasty Devonshire tea.
For just $5 you will receive entry into the craft fair, and broader museum if you choose, plus tea, coffee and scone.
Inspiration from the event came from the family of Lesley McDonald who passed away last year.
She was an inspiring member of the community and known for crocheting beautiful doilies which her loved ones now want to share with the community.
The ladies from the Chat and Patch group have now also joined in and so have the Tivaevae group who create unique patchwork quilts in a style that originated from the Cook Islands.
From delightful doilies to quintessential quilts and natty needlework, all will be on display at the event which promises to both honour and celebrate our local skills and heritage.
“It’s our way of showing the museum in a different light,” said volunteer Larraine Biggs.
“We are celebrating some of the lovely crafts we have here, and many will be available for purchase.
“It’s going to be a nice afternoon and everyone is invited!”
