The Applique Guild of Australia Inc. was formed in 2012 with the aim of promoting the art of applique in all its styles and to provide an Australian guild specifically for applique. Membership is open to all who have an interest in applique; traditional or modern, hand or machine, novice or professional.
Our Newsletters and Forum are only available to guild members but please stay and browse the rest of the site to learn more about us.
We welcome new members so that the appreciation of applique will continue to grow.
