What an amazing show, each year the quilts get bigger and better.

I am very pleased to report that this year's show was another great success, from the cushions and patchwork dog, to the queen and king size bed quilts; they were all much admired for the skill, patience, colour co-ordination and attention to detail from the makers.

Every skill level was included, from beginners to the experienced. There was something for everybody to love, admire and drool over !!!.

I would like to thank everybody who helped to make the show a success, from the ladies in the kitchen who provided the mouth watering lunches, the cakes donated, to the doorman (and ladies), the quilt angels who impressed visitors with their knowledge regarding the techniques used, for all the raffle prizes that were donated, to the team that helped me put up and take down the quilts.

The amount raised was £1,100 which will be given to Sussex Air Ambulance.

The Visitor's Choice at the 2007 show was a very close run contest. The Winner was Starry, Starry Night by Dorothy Thompson and the runner up Chocolate Box by Sheila Chohan.
