Ewell Village Craft Fair - July 2016

On the 9th of July we took our handmade fundraising items to a Craft Fair at the Glyn Hall in Ewell Village. It was organised in aid of the Sunnybank Trust, a local charity that works with people with learning difficulties, and ran at the same time as the annual Ewell Village Fair. After taking out the fee for the table, we made a profit of £31.50, which went into our funds. Christine, Sabine and Lesley 'manned' the table from 12 to 4. There was a steady flow of people through the hall as a result of all the advertising Annette (the organiser) had placed throughout the village and local publications.

The Sampler quilt demonstrations have been very popular with our members.It looks like there will be some beautiful quilts produced as a result.

We also had some work in progress and a finished quilt to admire.
