Here is a photo of the Colmar quilt made by:-

 Leila, Janet, Dagmar, Val, Rosemary, Lorna, Viv, Pat, Lois, Helen, Hazel and Sue

A prize is being offered if you can guess who is behind the quilt

together with a story of how it came about, written by Sue Wilson....
ODE TO OUR QUILT

A group of 12 friends are we

we meet once a week regularly

To Bradmore we go

to supposedly sew

and eat cake and drink coffee and tea,

A quilt made by all, was the cry,

A decision was made by and by,

A photo was “rent”

into equal segment

a piece given to all for a try !!

A few rules were needed we thought,

The colours to be represent

The edges to be

like the photo we see

making joining together less fraught.

Like all groups, whatever you do,

The quick ones, there are just a few !!

Took it away

 and were finished next day

while the rest stitched till the deadline was due.

Janet, the brave, took the bits

to link all together 16 “kits”

She sewed by the mile

with always a smile

But I am sure that it got on her T—s  -nerves.

When we saw it together at last

we stood open mouthed aghast!!

It’s good enough to show-

to Uttoxeter must go

So parcelled up and sent rather fast.

Well we won 1^st prize at the event

so “geed up “ to Malvern we sent

a second in show

to the NEC it could go

Highly Commended, came back the comment.

To Cosby Quilts, 5 of us belong

so we thought we would take it along,

To show and to tell

on the blog now as well

This ode took me almost as long.
