ANNOUNCING
Abbey Quilters Quilt Show 2024
and
Margaret Fletcher Challenge 2024
To produce a sewn and weighted door stop.
This is a 3D challenge and you can embroider, quilt, stitch and otherwise embellish a beautiful doorstop. The items will be judged on originality, stitching, presence and must keep our door to Room 2 open.
March Workshop
In March we had a wonderful Workshop led by the super Helen Leighton-Rose who showed us various techniques to make these wonderfully quirky textile towers. We all had a great day, learnt new techniques and felt as if we had achieved something special by the end of the day. I'm sure some of these methods will feature in the entries into the Margaret Fletcher doorstop challenge this year!
