The Show
As Roundabout Quilters approach
their second birthday in September, it seems just the right time for our first
exhibition. It will take place on
Saturday 27th June from 10 – 4 and on Sunday 28th June
from 12 – 5. We have been fortunate to
secure All Saints’ Church, Southern Road, Basingstoke RG21 7NP for our show, in
this, their centenary year.
We are a very varied group. Some members are national prize winners,
others are just starting out. Our quilts
come in many sizes and range from traditional to modern and art quilts. There are wall hangings, cushions and
bags. Since we started we have had five
workshops with professional quilters and textile artists and there is a group
of work form each of these.
Refreshments will be available in
the church hall next door and there you can find our traders: Juberry; Quilters’ Dream and Running Chicken.
We’ve invited them because they have all brought their shops to us and
done a talk for the group. They are
people we’d shop form again (and again).
There is a raffle for two I-Spy
quilts, a goodies hamper and a sewing hamper.
One of our members, Jane, is the Basingstoke representative of Project
Linus and she’ll be able to give you information about Project Linus’s work
making quilts for sick children and others in need.
Getting there:
There are nearby public car parks
in New Road, accessed from New Road.
Having parked your car, it is a short walk to the church. Coming by public transport, the railway
station is a 15 minute walk away and the bus station is a 10 minute walk.
