Llandegai Patchers Quilt Show in Menai Bridge has now completed its second day and we’re all enjoying the warm glow of complements from our visitors. The homemade cakes are getting a very positive mention along with the quilts in our Visitors’ Book and we’re meeting/greeting and enjoying the company of everyone who comes through the door. For a moment I thought our furthest travelled visitors would be from somewhere in England but they have all been surpassed today by four young men from Portugal who saw the sign and paused on their round Britain tour (in original Minis) to take in our exhibition before heading east to Conwy Castle then on to Liverpool. Some members of my Intermediate group have visited the exhibition and it has been lovely to meet a few members of my next Beginners group, as well as ‘sign up’ some new ladies. With three more days to go I hope to chat to several more visitors – look out for me near the lecturn where I will be sitting doing a little hand quilting or a bit of beading in front of my Beginners Workshop quilt.By the end of the week we should all be ‘tired but happy’ with the Show just a whispy memory – until the next time.
