On behalf of Lenora and myself, I would like to sincerely thank everyone who has participated in our annual Friendship Frolic over the years....11 wonderful Frolics. We started this event to celebrate our own friendship and while the event will no longer continue, I'm sure that we will remain friends.
Lenora has announced that she has decided to close her shop, with her sale starting on Saturday 2nd May. You can check out all of the details on her Elm Grove Patchwork page.
I will be closing this page in the coming weeks.
Thanks again for your support.
Cheers Linda

What a huge four days it has been celebrating our 11th Friendship Frolic. We have had approximately 150 participate which has been absolutely amazing. Thank you to each and every one of you for your support once again. It was lovely to see lots of seasoned frolickers as well as some new faces joining in the fun for the very first time.

Don't forget there are so many great options for brunch, lunch and afternoon tea while frolicking. In Timboon there is The Fat Cow, The Provedore, Railway Shed Distillery, Berry Good Thai, plus more. In Nullawarre you can check out Childers.

After two very busy (and very long) days, I have shouted myself to a special breakfast at The Fat Cow, Timboon. Is it a tax deduction if I am doing social media will eating 🤔🤣. Hopefully this will get me through the day, but I might have to grab one of their muffins for lunch on the go!
We are officially half way through the Friendship Frolic.....two days down.....two days to go 😊

Today's the day!
Can't make it because you live too far away. Never fear, we are running the Friendship Frolic online again this year, but it's for 2 days only.
Here's what to do....
You must spend a minimum of $30 (excluding postage) at both Gum Valley Patchwork and Elm Grove Patchwork, between 10am on Wednesday 4th February and 4pm on Thursday 5th February 2026. Select the FF gift from one shop only, and add it to your cart. We will process your orders and post them out to you.
Please note that postage must be selected at both shops as we won't be meeting up to post your order together.
You will find the links to the gifts on both home pages on our website.
Happy Frolicking.....Lenora and Linda

For several years we have had a special branded item as our Friendship Frolic Gift for our frolickers. They have become a little bit of a collectors item, with some frolickers having them all. We have had a drink bottle, mugs (including our special 10th year mug), ruler, pen, notebook, lunch bag, tote bag.
