SNUGGLED up in bed is former president Alison Jenkins under the beautiful hand-made patchwork quilt to be raffled on the club’s stall at the SIGBI conference in Brighton at the end of October.
Around a dozen members have met once or twice a month for the past two years to create the masterpiece – in mostly blue and yellow, naturally!
As well as the quilt, other prizes in the raffle will be a cushion cover, a table runner and a carrier bag, all in patchwork, pictured below with Alison and Rosemary Hampton.
Led by Alison, who did most of the work, the nifty needlewomen involved were Pam Grosvenor, Maureen Lowry, Celia Veal, Rosemary Hampton, Christine Wilkes, Pat Caulton and Ann Pibworth plus four or five other occasional helpers.
Proceeds will go to the Alzheimer’s Society.
