A few of us went to Waikerie from our Mildura group. I also met up with Judy and Pat from Bordertown.
We had a great day of sewing, chatting, show n tell and lots of shopping too. When we arrived we were greeted with a goodie bag. This was a nice shopping bag, a Riverland tourism book, a great plastic project bag and a wrist strap with a link to attach keys/phone. We were very lucky.
There were about 120 ladies that attended. It was a great day.

I actually did some stitching
There was also a little project that the SA valuation team participated in. They recorded their time and had their 40cm square piece valued by the team. The challenge was also for their 40th Ruby Anniversary .
The members made a piece, had it valued and shared this with us. The results were amazing.
This is a cute one.
I love this one.
Here Judy is with hers. She machine quilted a whole cloth.
And it’s valuation came in at
Just remember these are only 40cm square……
Absolutely astonishing. This valuation is for replacement value for insurance purposes and not the $ value to sell or buy.
If you are interested in getting your quilts valued the SA quilt team will do for non members for $50.
Please contact me if you want more details or contact Judy
I forgot to get a photo of their raffle quilt but it is valued at $26,000.
Yes that’s right. I haven’t added in extra “0’s”
OUR WORK IS WORTH THAT MUCH.
Just remember this when you gift a quilt. If you want it respected maybe it is worth getting it valued to show how how much you love the recipient. You do get a certificate to pass on with every valuation.
My shopping consisted of a sashiko panel, some pins, small scissors and a needle threader.

Wow! What a lovely day & the quilts, however small were all amazing. Thanks for sharing, take care & hugs.
What a great day. Some lovely quilts, even if they are tiny.
Good post Jo, thanks for spreading the info
Such a fun way to spend the day. Fancy you working on some Sashiko and buying another panel. LOL Your other purchases are cute. It was good to catch up with Jude and Pat and yes, it is astonishing how much the quilts are valued at.
This was a fun post reading about seeing you together with Judy and Pat. It looks like a nice, roomy place for a retreat.
A great post Jo. Gosh those small quilts are effective - the red really pops out at you. I have just purchased myself a sashiko panel too .. am keen to get started on it. Enjoy the weekend Jo. xx
What an incredible post, and one I really needed to see.
Yes, painted, sculpted and drawn art is valued highly, so why not textile art?
Thank you! I think getting a valuation done is invaluable, especially as a selling point.
I will look into this in future!
The valuation information is fascinating. Thanks for sharing in your post.
Wonderful post Jo, I thought the valuation on Jude's quilt seemed low - compared to some of the others, I guess there is a reason for that. Looks like a great day out.
Glad you had a nice day...... Interesting results..... I've never had anything valued......
