BOTANICAL GARDENS

Once a month they have a flea market at our Botanical Gardens. The Oranje Quilters Guild decided to display some quilts so as to promote quilting in Bloemfontein. On Saturday the 27 October a few of the members got together and spent the day doing some hand quilting at the market. A lot of fun was had by all that attended.

Thanks ladies for all the hard work of hanging the quilts.

IT HAS BEEN AWHILE.

We know it has been quite a while since we have posted on our blog. Things have been hecticbut we hope to keep it updated from now on. Hope you have not missed us too much.

Don’t for one moment think that we have not been quilting. Some photos of our handwork will follow shortly.
