Thus began the mad dash to complete UFO’s in time. To be fair to our viewing public, we didn’t want to repeat too many of last year’s quilts. Somehow, we made the deadline (despite the heat) and came up with quite a selection to hang inside and out. Margaret’s house is close to the Ferry wharf so our visitors arrived to a colourful welcome. See for yourself…
I think it was well worth the effort! We even had a few musicians along during the day to set the ambiance.
So, what are we planning for next year? Don't ask - the UFO pile is getting dangerously low!

It was hard work to organise, but well worth the effort. We even had the odd offer to buy our quilts, but somehow that's another issue for discussion. What is an acceptable price to ask for our handiwork and are people prepared to pay that price.
It was so uplifting to see our quilts hanging and the variety of work we had produced over the years. Hanging offers a whole new level of appreciation and inspiration. See my comments re: hanging your groups or your own quilts.
