The wall of blocks made by visitors to “Voices” quilt exhibition at The Devon Guild

Some of the blocks from The Devon Guild drop-in day

Jenny was pleased to help at The Devon Guild  Quilt-it, Patch-it, Family drop-in day. There was a table that sat 10 visitors & it was full all day. There were front, wadding & backing  squares, 7″ sq. ready to go & the children & adults then decorated the top by sewing on all kind on scraps. For many it was their first experience of sewing & of quilting. Many of them said they were inspired to do more.
