October 30th Exhibition Day 2

I visited the exhibition today, and thought I would add a couple more photos

  this was before the crowds arrived ....... you think I am joking

Do you remember our Challenge at the end of  2010?  well, here are some of the blocks....don't they look good???  Once we get the green blocks added it will look stunning.  Shame it was next to the notice  board.

We had fun making boxes on one of our 'all days'

Remember the sampler quilts, well here is a sample as many of us have not finished .

Another 'all day' we made patchwork dresses,

These were all made by the Wednesday evening ladies,    aren't they great..I want I want

On the last 'all day' we made these little filigree trees.

The sales table...... lots here to buy.

A group of feathered friends keeping an eye on matters

It not just quilts that we make

The Bede House. Not where we normally meet but an architecturaly stunning building for a Exhibition 

The exhibition ended with our cushion raffle.  There had been 65 cushions donated by our ladies, and lots of folk came back to claim their favourite.  

Lots of ladies came to help clear up, and let me tell you, it was a lot quicker clearing everything away than it took to build the exhibition on Friday evening.  

BIG THANKS  to all that helped over the last few days, you are too many to mention but you all know who you are.

STOP PRESS ! We have raised the fantastic amount of £2052.65. Well Done Ladies!!  £845.76 has been paid for young Matthews new bed. News on our other donation will follow shortly.
