In 2005 a small group of quilters displayed their work at an exhibition in a church hall. I was tidying my cupboard this afternoon and found a disc with the photo's on it, never seen before. Several quilts by a beautiful friend who passed away unexpectedly a few years later brought back memories of a special time spent with these ladies....

| At the exhibition we sewed together blocks for a quilt that we donated to a charity. Sewing away on the weekend was our beautiful Marie. Whenever a group quilt was being sewn for someone sick or a charity I could always rely on Marie to be there sewing non-stop until the project was complete. |
Some beauties there - and so varied - thanks for posting them all. The raffle quilt was gorgeous - and the lone stars too!

Very pretty quilts! It is interesting to look at past pictures of quilts.
ReplyDeleteI love a good show with a diverse collection of styles and colors.
Thanks for the memories!! I remember that lovely show, and how hard you all worked to get it together.
ReplyDeleteHi Penny,
ReplyDeleteSuch a wonderful quilt show - Mum and I remember it very fondly. We loved all of your SOUP shows, we had such a wonderful time.
Hope you and yours are all well - we're all going swimmingly here.
All our love,

Hi Suzie and Kate, Those quilt Exhibitions were fun. It was always good to catch up with you when we had them. Hope you and your families are great as well. Your babies must be growing up I am sure!
