Social Club
“A group of us, all from interstate, decided to go out for dinner on Friday night and everyone in the workshop was invited. This is what quilting is all about! The bonds and friendships formed between strangers through a love of quilting! I hope to meet them all again and we plan to stay in touch.” Michelle, 2022
Following our successful AMQF 2022 event we received a wonderful amount of feedback about the welcoming community ambience of the event. Friendships were made, skills shared.
AMQF 2025 is proud to launch the AMQF Social Club. Daily informal gatherings. A chance to get-together with like-minded people and discuss ideas and inspiration.
When:
Thursday 27 March, 5pm-6.30pm
The AMQF Social Club will host the offical event opening in the event bar. Refreshments and canapés to accompany a fun teacher Q&A session.
Friday 28 & Saturday 29 March, 4.30pm-6pm
‘Happy Hour’ – maybe we should call this ‘Inspiration Hour’ or ‘Put your feet up and refresh’. Each night the event cafe will turn into the AMQF Social Club. The bar will be open with a selection of wines, beers and soft drinks. The AMQF Social Club will provide grazing platters. No bookings needed. Just turn up as the retail hall closes and enjoy a relaxing conversation.
