Quilt Show 2019
1st and 2nd June
Once again we have had a very successful show, taking place over two days on one of the sunniest weekends of the summer. The good weather didn't deter the dedicated quilters, families and friends who came to see what we had produced over three years of hard work .
Our raffle was in aid of Admiral Nurses (Dementia UK). We had a representative at the show to give information to visitors about this little known charity. A hamper of local produce and a quilt made by the group were raffled.
There were over 30 brand new quilts showing a range of blocks and styles.
.....from intricate
... using up 2.5 inch strips
...hexagons
......applique
....stars
..... to totally scraps of all sizes.
Visitors were asked to vote on their favourite quilt.....
This wonderful quilt was voted best in show; double sided and completely hand sewn. A work of dedication, well done Jo.
We were able to make a donation of £500 to Admiral Nurses for work in our area and also a donation to the hall fund for new windows.
