My group, H&D Quilters, had our 21st anniversary Celebration Day yesterday (2nd March). As I mentioned before we invited three other groups as well as our members. We had hung quilts from 1992 to the present day. We had a fat ¼ game at the start to break the ice, which was hilarious and silly. We supplied lunch, a speaker, Elizabeth J Wall who was absolutely brilliant, a raffle, Charity Quilt raffle and a trader plus we had a small sales table. I had mixed all the groups up so everyone was meeting new people. Quilters always talk to each other.
We had lunch in two sittings, while one was eating the other group was taken to the church to see famous embroidery panels by Hannah Frew Paterson, beautiful stained glass windows, old and recently commissioned, other etched glass windows and other textiles. We had the bells ringing for us and one of the elders gave a talk. A beautiful church where everyone had a great time.
After the speaker we had show & tell and then a 21st birthday cake that had a photo of the charity quilt after the refreshments everyone made their way home, some of the visitors had a 2 ½ to 3 hour drive in front of them. I am pleased to say, from the feedback, everyone had a very enjoyable day.
