And everyone seemed very impressed and interested in all the exhibits. We asked all our visitors to vote for their favourite quilt, not an easy …
So we gathered and we stitched (thanks Sheila for that great sentence!), and we got an AMAZING goody bag courtesy of all our fabulous sponsors! Look at all that booty! And I have saved one goody bag to give away to one lucky reader of this blog! But first of all I’d like to take …
