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
