It’s been absolutely ages since I’ve managed to attend an All Comers Day, so I’m pleased I made it today, although for half a day only. I arrived to find this happy group finishing off their lunches. Jane and Janneke had since departed after spending the morning with the ladies.

There was a whole pile of “Gift Quilts” on tables in the hall – certainly a much nicer name than “Charity Quilts” which was formerly used to describe them. Two worthy recipients came in to make their choices and happily took their new quilts home with them.

So what were the All Comer ladies getting up to while I was there? Both Kath and Liz were working on their BOM blocks from Foxes Cottage.

Wendy was dealing with lots of tiny squares
Dianne was busy machine quilting this striking blue and yellow gifting quilt.

And I was busy hand stitching a binding on my wall hanging. It was great to catch up with club members at the All Comers Day – always a pleasant way to spend the day, or like me, a half day, with like minded people.
