Hi Everyone,
With the Olympics on in Paris and our athletes winning gold Hunters Hill Quilters feel like we are on a similar path after our successful Quilt Show we feel we have won gold.
🥇🥇🥇
Thank you to all our members who were able to attend and volunteer your time for the show. The weather was good, the Town Hall looked amazing with the quilts hanging under the specialised hanging lighting, and the food from the Cafe was plentiful and tasty. The Stage Sales and Wagga areas were setup to entice the visitors into making a purchase or two.
