Quilt Show

2019 QUILT SHOW We had a successful show with over 190 visitors. It was a very busy and friendly exhibition of work and we received a lot of positive comments about the high standard of work, the delicious cakes and the handmade gifts, which all sold. The quilt raffle raised a fantastic £1,740 and combined with the proceeds of the show it resulted in a wonderful £3,503.06 for our charity, Guide Dogs. We were delighted!

 

Our recent project quilts: traditional and contemporary.

  

A riot of colour: a range of colourful quilts with African, Australian and American beginnings.

 

The gift table: bunting, advent calendars, cushions galore     Tiggi and her team, the “Strawberries” and Jaqui  & Pickles
