    Default Craft markets in Melbourne city

    Hi all

    Would like to find out from quilters based in Melbourne, Australia if there are good craft markets to visit in City? I'll be travelling there in two weeks time. I'm aware of the ones in St Kilda Esplanade, The Arts Centre, Northcote and Rose Street. Any more?

    Thanks, this is great news! The Melbourne Exhibition Centre is just a short walk away from where I'm staying. Will visit the fair for sure!

    Hi, the Eltham crafts market is a good one, held once a month, June 15 and July 20. All sorts of crafts including things like glass and timber amongst many other things sewn. Hope you can make it.

    Thanks, I'm looking forward to my trip! The last time I visited was 10 years ago and I believe much would have changed since then. Hoping to visit some quilt shops in the city too. Are there any to recommend?
