Entrants are asked to please make and donate something small for us to sell at the event. The item should be sellable for $20 or less. Profits will go to Wellington Quilters. Suggestions for items include; tea cosies, pot-mitts, pouches, bags, placemats, coasters, pin cushions etc.
We will be making items for the sales table, and finishing exhibition quilts at our Claytons UFO on August 30-31st. Please come and join us!
