Projects
Waterside Quilters Charity for 2016 was The Honeypot Children's Charity who provide respite care for children who themselves are carers.
It was decided that for the first time we would hold an exhibition and auction the quilts.
As the charity was called Honeypot a theme of 'Honey' was decided and the quilts should measure 12" x 12".
St Andrews Church Coffee Shop kindly let us display the quilts and it was set up as a 'Silent Auction'. It proved very popular with visitors and coffee shop customers. There was also a sales table of items made by members. Together with other small fundraising events throughout the year Waterside Quilters raised a total of £745 which was donated to Honeypot Children's Charity.
Well done ladies.

A 'Table Centre Mat' is our next group project to start on the 27th October. The pattern and fabric quantity will be available at the next meeting on Oct 13th or ring Alison on 023 8089 4835. You can make either a large mat or a small one or both. It can be made in any colour fabric that is 100% cotton. It looks good in Christmas fabrics for that stunning table centre piece. |
