The weekend was a wonderful success with a beautiful array of patchwork quilts and needlework on display. The church was a lovely setting for the occasion providing not only a perfect backdrop, but also the facility for us to offer welcoming refreshments.
The comments we received from people passing through were really encouraging and full of praise, not only for the quantity of quilts etc. on show, but also the quality, with a group of very experienced patchworkers telling us that many of the quilts we as good, if not better, than any they had seen on their trips both here in the UK, and in America……praise indeed.
We raised over £2000, and none of this could have been achieved without the help of so many people to whom we would like to say a huge ‘Thank You’ , I am sure that you know who you are. Also, many thanks to the people who visited the exhibition and supported us in this way, it would have been very lonely without you!
As a footnote, we were extremely happy with the exhibition and look forward to a repeat performance in 2009, however, we are not complacent and have already had a meeting with several exhibitors/helpers to see how we can improve the event. If you have any suggestions, we would be more than happy to hear from you.
