The Community Quilts group has been active since NOTYQ started in 1992.
Quilts have been donated to, among others, the Salvos, Cancer for Kids, Strathallen Homes, India, NSW Bushfire Relief, Halls Gap, Cancer Research, Rosebud Dialysis Unit, Australian Child, Tasmanian Bushfire Relief, Black Saturday Bushfire Relief, East Timor, Diamond Creek Fire Brigade, as well as donations to individuals.

Biannual Quilt Exhibition
Every 2 years in October the Guild hold a Quilt Exhibition, showcasing the talents of its members.
It is held at the Eltham Community Centre and there is no trouble filling the facility with the wonderful Quilts that members have made over the previous 2 years.
We also have many Trader stalls so there are many fabrics and other goodies to tempt you.
