These are the names of some of the styles Horsham Patchwork Quilters work into their creations, and the organistion will hold its latest bi-annual exhibition between Friday May 24 and Sunday May 26.
Vice-president Heather Brennan said hundreds of quilts would be on show at the event was always well-received.
"We always enjoy presenting our two years worth of work. It brings hundreds of people to Horsham, because we send flyers out to all the surrounding areas," she said.
"This year for the first year, we're going to have quilts for sale, so some of the members who have been creating a lot of quilts have the opportunity to make some money from them at the exhibition."
Mrs Brennan said the exhibition would feature 24-inch quilts for neonatal babies.
"They will be sent of the Melbourne hospitals after the exhibition for premature babies, and then people can take the quilts home as a memory," she said.
"This year we'll be bring back the free childrens' sewing activity for the second time. We're wanting to encourage children to learn these skills, because some of them have no idea. Children have to book in beforehand, and we can take up to 20 on the Sunday."
Mrs Brennan said the money the group raised from this year's quilt raffle would go to Wimmera Against Cancer in Kids. In previous years, they have raised $2000 each for Rachael's Wish and Wimmera Base Hospital.
Mrs Brennan said group numbers had stayed stable over the twenty-five years she had been stitching with the organisation.
"Our group is mostly Horsham-based, but we have people come from as far as Nhill, Beulah and Laharum," she said.
"It's great for people who like colors, fabrics and creating things."
