Quiltfest 2023
We finally had a successful exhibition which was cancelled in 2020 – for obvious reasons we won’t mention. The weather was beautiful and we had a lot of visitors. Visitors were asked to vote for their favourite quilt and the results are as follows.
1st place Christine Franklin with Borders
2nd place Lynn Quinn with Sunrise and Shadows
3rd place Christine Franklin with Hexagons
Here’s to our next Quiltfest in 2026
