No sewing but lots of eating, chatting and drinking as we circled the room looking at the 2013 Round Robin quilts trying to make a decision on which was our favourite.
Grace organised the display of 17 completed 2013 Round Robin quilts, complete with their 'file' of 'who did what'. Each quilter spoke about their own quilt and the common theme was that they were delighted with the results. The voting was very close for two quilts with only 1 vote between them.
Viewers Choice, 1st Prize, went to Ros's quilt: June, Lindy and Beryl J worked on the 3 rounds. All four received a quilting book prize.

Viewer's Choice, 2nd Prize, went to Susan D: Ellen, Grace and Lindy all worked on Susan's quilt. Their prize was a 'round of applause'.

Congratulations to everyone who participated, good fun and great results and thanks to Grace and Jenny for making it happen.
