Dear Fellow Quilter,
Following the success of last years show, I and numerous other quilters from the Wealden area are pleased to invite you to The Annual Wealden Quilt Show, which will be held at All Saints Church, The New Hall, Chapel Green, Crowborough, TN6 2LB on Friday 23rd April, 10am – 5pm and Saturday 24th April, 10am – 4pm.
The show will raise funds for The Hospice in the Weald and the Macmillan Nurses.
There will be a number of trade stands, mini workshops, demonstrators, excellent refreshments and a raffle.
If you would like to participate by entering the Wealden Cushion Challenge (rules enclosed) and/or having a quilt, wall hanging or patchwork item displayed in the show, please complete and return the enclosed form to me as soon as possible, or download from the above web site, latest by the 31st March 2010.
If you would like your cushion raffled and the proceeds divided equally between the two charities don’t forget to fill in the appropriate space.

Because of the restriction of space we can only hang a limited number of quilts; therefore applications will be dealt with on a first come-first served basis.
Unfortunately due to the astronomical cost and the amount of paper work involved we are unable to provide insurance cover for your quilt/item. Most house contents insurance will cover your quilt away from home. Please make sure you check your own personal policy.

This year, for the first time, as well as demonstrations, we are running mini work shops. Please see web site for details.

Due to the fact that the quilt show is going from strength to strength and now attracts over 500 people, I am particularly asking for everyone to HELP in someway, whether you have entered a quilt or not. I would really appreciate it if you could spare 1 or 2 hours by being a quilt angel, helping with refreshments or selling raffle tickets. We would also appreciate donations of cakes, biscuits and raffle prizes.

Thank you so much for taking the time to read this letter and we look forward to seeing you at the quilt show.
