Yvonne Symonds was “club speaker” at our Probus Club meeting recently, and did a marvelous job promoting Town and Country Quilters. She explained about the charity quilts made by members, and also the benefit of the heart cushions made by members a little while ago for those ladies undergoing surgery for breast cancer.
We then saw a selection of quilts made over the years, including several challenges made with her “Evening Bags” house group.

The tiny houses of Happy Villages were started in a class with Karen Eckmeter were just delightful.

The Evening Bag Challenge 2014 composed of many small circles completed with different stitches in each came in for a lot of scrutiny after the meeting. As did all the pretty little buttons and charms used too. “Look at that one, and that one”, people were heard exclaiming.

Thank you Yvonne, for your short talk, it was very interesting, and the ladies (in particular) in the Probus club enjoyed the opportunity to see your work.
