We have recently held our first exhibition of Patchwork and Quilting here at Cartwheels. The ladies from Dragonfly and Cartwheels sewing groups teamed up and provided us with a vast range of beautiful quilts, wall hangings, cushions and bags to create a wonderful exhibition.
Our chosen charity to benefit from the event was CLIC Sargent which tied in nicely with September being Childhood Cancer Awareness Month. All proceeds from admissions, the raffle, refreshments and 10% from the sales table was donated to CLIC Sargent and we managed to raise a grand total of £805 which was fantastic.
A big thank you to all the ladies that helped over the three days. Also a big thank you to Sue Rowe of Dragonfly Crafts who came up with the idea and collected, labelled and displayed all the exhibits, it looked fantastic!
Next weekend will be our first Patchwork and Quilting Exhibition here at Cartwheels, please come along and see the lovely work that is being created by local sewing groups and support CLIC Sargent at the same time. The 2015 schedule of workshops for Cartwheels will also be available hot off the press. Hope to see you all here!
We had a great day at the 111th Annual Liskeard Agricultural Show yesterday despite it being a little damp. Cartwheels Craft Centre had a stand in the Shopping and Craft Marquee where I was supported by Yvette Wiltshire who teaches the art workshops and courses here and also Sue Rowe who teaches sewing, patchwork and quilting here.
We had lots of interest in the craft centre stand with several workshops being booked, many leaflets being handed out, lots of names registering for our monthly newsletter and also many purchases made. All in all a successful day.
This was topped off by Cartwheels Craft Centre receiving 3rd place for the presentation of the stand, a lovely end to a great day.
On a personal note, I was also pleased with my entries into the domestic handicraft classes. I received a 3rd place for my ‘Country Chicken’ and a highly commended for my wall hanging. My eldest son who is 4 also received a highly commended for his drawing of his favourite toy, ‘Rosie’ the train. Well done Oliver!
We have just completed our first weekend workshop over two days where we made large Willow Shopping Baskets with Bridget King. The blood, sweat and blisters were all worth it with such a sense of achievement. Six fantastic baskets and six very happy ladies!
