A Special message from our Chairman

What an amazing weekend!

After worrying myself sick for months about the show we pulled it off and it was brilliant! I had so many positive comments and praise. People were searching me out at the end to tell me how much they had enjoyed the show. They commented on the richness of talent and the beauty of the quilts!

To me one of the biggest bonuses of the show was the fact that I signed up 11 new members and am pretty sure that another 5 or 6 will turn up in the next couple of months. They were at varying stages from beginner through to experienced quilters, all keen to be involved and learn more. And, although it ‘shouldn’t’ make a difference, it includes one young man, which is really exciting!

I am very aware that this is all down to teamwork. As I’ve said many times, none of us knows or can do everything, but together we are a force to be reckoned with! So I say a HUGE THANK YOU to you all for all the hard work you put into the show and look forward to continuing to take Bourne Quilters forward.

I think we are now well and truly back to life after Covid.

So it’s onwards and upwards,

Thanks everybody

Chris

Fantastic quilt show. Well done everyone who was involved – whether it was organising/ volunteering/ submitting your work or coming along and supporting – it was one big team effort. It was lovely to be part of it.
