As a not-for-profit group, most of the money raised through the raffle and entry fees will be donated to local charities.
During the year, members also make and donate quilts to give to charity.
'They go to the police when for people who have suffered trauma from domestic violence. We also donate to the Children's Hospital over time," member Louise Frewin explained.
"There's a couple of members that continually make charity quilts."
If you are interested in becoming a member of the Black Head Beach Quilters, or just finding out more, you can pop along to the Black Head Surf Life Saving Club on Wednesday mornings, when the group meets from 10am to 2pm.
