Exhibitions Galore
Jul 24th
We are very lucky in our corner of rural Mid Wales in the northern parts of Powys. We currently have not one but two ongoing quilting exhibitions within relatively short distances of each other. There can be few places in the world so blessed.
Today is the penultimate day of Maldywn Quilters annual exhibition at the Community Centre in Carno. You’ll have to hurry however as it ends tomorrow (Sunday).
The summer exhibition at Llanidloes run by The Quilt Association continues throughout the summer in the Minerva Centre until 11-Sept-2010.
For all with an interest in craft, design, textiles and an abundance of skill and dedication then both of these events should be a must. Even if you are just caught short by the Welsh summer weather and merely want some respite from the “heat” with perhaps a cup of tea and a desire for inspiration then visit one or other or preferably both.
You’ll not regret meeting with some friendly people and quality quilters.

Maldwyn Quilters – Carno weekend
Jul 27th
Just realised that this is the 4th year that I’ve attended this prestigious quilting festival in Carno, and the 6th year the event has been held
Enjoyed every moment, met many new quilters and I have really enjoyed seeing your creations, quilts and otherwise.
Also, I must commend your choice of fabrics in your quilts (I think I may have recognised some I have previous sold you!!!!)
Anyway, another resounding success – here’s to next year….
PS – to all of you who bought tickets from me for the draw on 26-July-2009 to raise funds for Hope House Hospice and BBC Children in Need— Sorry, but better luck next time.
The group also presented 6 lap quilts for the charity Linus UK.
As you missed out on the Carno draw, tickets for the Teresa Anna Quilt in aid of Breast Cancer Research are still on sale in the shop. The draw for this charity quilt will conclude the “Pink Weekend” at Corris Craft Centre on 25th October 2009

MALDWYN QUILTERS

Another excellent weekend at Carno thanks to the Maldwyn Quilters
Jane and Sue managed to free themselves from the Tea and Cake stall occasionally to look round and see the quilts and other goodies on hand.
They even managed to set up a stall and hand out some fabric samples in the shape of fat quarters for a small and very reasonable fee. So, well done, you made some quilters very happy with your wares.
But another good time was had by all amongst this friendly group of quilters,
