Thank you Harry!
Leominster Quilters are very lucky to be able to use Monkland Village Hall for our meetings. Harry, the caretaker, is always very helpful and looks after us very well.
So it was about time we showed our appreciation in a typically quilty way. Thank you Harry – hope you’re enjoying your quilt!

Edwina gave a us a wonderful talk about a very varied selection of her quilts. It was interesting to hear how her colour choices were made, and I love her enthusiasm for being unpredictable. Be open to the unexpected when working on a project, go with the flow, change direction if it feels right.
