Less than a month to go.

We had our last Quilt Exhibition Committee meeting Monday 26th March. All our guests have a place to stay and a pick up from the airport or station. We also seem to have the journey home in hand. The publicity is well underway, with quilting magazine adverts and shop and library fliers in place, we are also distributing fliers in work places and with friends and relatives. Lists have been made for hanging the quilts, manning the exhibition and taking the quilts down at the end. We decided not to have a Tombola due to the cost involved. There will be a Charity Quilt raffle with tickets being sold in aid of the Mayors Charity - Helping young people into work. The Quilt has been made by the SCOLA group.

The Mayor of Sutton, Councillor Gerry Jerome, will host an opening reception on Thursday evening, by invitation only, guests include exhibition participants, groups and individuals whose assitance was so valuable in helping us realise the exhibition. With over 60 quilts to look at, there should be something to appeal to anyone taking the opportunity to come along and see the exhibition. We hope it may inspire some of you to have a go yourselves.
