THE WINNER of the beautifully crafted hand-made patchwork quilt raffled by SI Gosport and Fareham at Conference was Iola Evans from Dolgellau.
Liz Morgan-Lewis, then still SIGBI president, is pictured drawing the winning tickets alongside club president Margaret Smith.
Other prizes in the raffle – a cushion cover, a table runner and a carrier bag, all in patchwork – were won by Margaret Phelan from Bath, Shirley Willae from Torquay and H. Shulver from Southport..
Led by former president Alison Jenkins, pictured left in a red jacket, who did most of the work, around a dozen members had met once or twice a month over two years to create their blue and yellow masterpiece.
The £800 raised will go to the Alzheimer’s Society.
