29th May

Hi Everyone,

We had a productive day at quilting today with progress made on our Raffle quilt - thanks to Kathy and our members voting on the charity we wish to support from funds raised at our 2026 Quilt Show. Grace will be contacting the charity to confirm any information required from us, so we will make an official announcement soon - watch this space.

Work continues on the Raffle quilt

Our ladies were busy sewing today on various projects - I observed appliqué, paper piecing or stitching bindings onto quilts to name a few. Marie K is setting another record by finishing items to be sold  at a market her daughter holds on Scotland Island in a couple of weeks. The money raised at the market is donated to a charity.

Marie K made this quilt for the Scotland Island market
