As a group affiliated to the
Quilters Guild of the British Isles, we are sometimes asked if we are interested in displaying our quilts as part of a meeting or show organised by Region 2. In the past this has included Hever Castle, and this year we had a request from the organisers of the Region 2 Area Day meeting in Bookham. Never wanting to miss a chance to show the groups work, I asked for volunteers who were willing to supply a quilt or two for display. Several members responded to the request and we took along along a diverse selection of quilts for display.

Some of the quilts were made as a result of attending a workshop or class, others were made to a challenge theme and some because the pattern or an idea inspired them. We received a thank you email from the organisers and lovely comments on the day.
If you have never attended a Regional Day meeting, they usually take the form of a speaker or two, some traders, a raffle, stash sale, lots of tea and cake. Some times there may be a workshop in the afternoon instead of a second speaker. The speakers talk on aspects of their work and show slides and/or samples to illustrate. They may have patterns or books for sale too. These meetings seem to take part in all the regions of the Guild, are generally posted on the
QGBI website, and you do not have to be a member of the guild to attend.
