This year the Travelling Quilt Exhibition was hosted at the Anglo Boer War Memorial Museum from the 12th of May until 30 June 2023.  Quilts from the Jacaranda Quilters of Gauteng was exhibited.

On arrival at the museum, guests were greeted by the two tame donkeys as well as a flock of geese wandering about the well-kept grounds.

The quilts on display were of outstanding quality.

Every quilt told a story and Iessie kept the audience captivated with the history of every quilt.

Iessie thanked Dr Johan van Zyl and his personnel for hosting this event for the Oranje Quilters Guild.

Dr Vickey Heunis thanked the Guild for their contributions through the years and asked for the Guilds' continued support in future projects.

After Chairperson Christa Gouws said a few words, it was time to admire all the beautiful quilts on display.

By this time all the guests present, worked up a healthy appetite and was treated to exquisitely prepared canapes.

Our Guild would hereby like to thank Iessie Steenberg for all the years she had organized it 

and wish Gerda Cronjé all the best for the future.
