On Saturday 21st August 2004 Pride Publishing held the inaugural
DUQ/Bernina Excellence in Patchwork Awards
It was a fantastic night with stores and businesses from all states of Australia receiving awards.
For Dayview Textiles and RJR Fabrics it was a very rewarding night with RJR Fabrics receiving the award for
 "Favourite Fabric Manufacturer." The award was accepted by Mr Richard Cohan CEO of RJR Fabrics and
Mr Bill Day CEO of Dayview Textiles the sole Australian distributor of RJR Fabrics.
The other award was given to Bill Day as the 1st inductee into the new "Excellence in Patchwork Hall of Fame"
Even though at Dayview Textiles we might be a little biased, we believe their is no more deserving recipient than Bill. Next year marks Bill's 50 years in textiles.
Some comments and insight into Bill's past within this industry were made in speeches by
Lorraine Moran, Gloria McKinnon and Richard Cohan

Mr Richard Cohan CEO of RJR Fabrics and MrJohn Durnell Vice President of RJR Fabrics
made sure their trip to Australia coincided with the awards night.
