Sorry for the long delay in posting. The sisters have been working their fingers to the bone, trying to finish quilts for the upcoming Quilts in the Barn exhibit which will be featuring our quilts this year.
If you have been to Quilts in the Barn before, you will know that Linda puts on a fabulous event with beautiful quilts, in a glorious setting. All monies raised are for breast cancer research. If you haven't been before, now is your chance! There will be afternoon tea available, Corliss from Threadbear will have a stall there and Di will have some of her patterns for sale- what more can I say? Oh yes - we have a raffle quilt
beautifully quilted by Helen Hayes. It is called the Sisters Peony quilt - we all love it so much we want to win it ourselves! Again all money raised goes for Breast Cancer research. Raffle tickets will be on sale at the exhibition and some local quilt shops also are selling them.
If you are reading this blog, and you can get to the exhibition, please do say hi to one of the sisters, we'd love to meet you and put a face to the names. Linda has a selection of around 100 quilts to choose from - I think she hangs about 70 depending on size, so we'll wait and see what goes up.
So where and when?
If you click on the poster it should enlarge so you can read the details.
Hope to meet some of you there and raise some money for this worthy cause.
Deb
Edited to add: In my haste to get this post out before something else happens at work - I neglected to say - "and of course say hi to Linda" who so generously hosts this annual event. In the meantime go check out her blog Quilts in the Barn
Looking forward to seeing all your wonderful quilts ~ it has become a tradition that a few girlfriends meet to view the quilts, & then sit and chat over morning tea.

ReplyDeleteYes How can us overseas quilt nuts buy raffle tickets? I would love that quilt.
ReplyDeleteWhen you have so many lovely things to show or tell to us, you don't have to apology for the delay. I think everyone understands that it takes a lot of work and you can only spend your time once! At least that's the way I think about it ;)
ReplyDeleteHow I wish I was closer so I could go too..
ReplyDeleteLove that quilt..

The raffle quilt is a beauty. It certainly must have taken a lot of hours to make.
ReplyDeleteGood luck for your exhibition...I am sure it will be a great success...I wish it was not so far away!

ReplyDeleteLove the idea of this event and wish I could go
I have serious quilt envy!
ReplyDeleteJust came home from viewing all your beautiful quilts, so inspiring. I will post some photos on my blog and send anyone with questions back here. Thank you for the inspiration. I was the one who complimented some of you at the front of the barn before seeing any of your work. Hope I have the lucky ticket!
ReplyDeleteHi Secret Sisters, Just wanted to thank you all for allowing us to view your beautiful quilts. My friends and I had a wonderful time visiting Quilts in the Barn and we were all in awe of the work you have done. We loved every quilt there! It was also lovely to meet some of you and finally put some names to faces - Deb, hopefully we can catch up some time in the future.
ReplyDeleteThank you for an inspiring exhibition of magnificent quilts!!!
ReplyDeleteThanks Ladies for what I can only say was a real thrill to see all your lovely Quilts and to put some faces to Names. Thanks to Julie for the special preview of your Burnt Quilt and your kindness to me. XX
