Some members of my ‘Beginners’ Workshop Group and I had a lovely day at Oriel (gallery) Ynys Môn today, celebrating the first Annual Quilt Day, as advocated by The Quilters’ Guild of the British Isles. I must stop calling them ‘beginners’ because they’re a long way from that now. Our quilts are at the hand-quilting stage – perfect for taking out to work on and show to ‘the public’. We stitched, chatted, put the World to rights and welcomed anyone who wanted to share in the experience. Quilters love to share their (our!) obsession! The Oriel is a wonderful facility with no entry charge and we on Anglesey are very proud of it. The work on display is of a superb standard and the new Sir Kyffin Williams Gallery attracts many visitors. I managed to make a little time to have a quick look round before leaving – the oil paintings and sketches of quarry workers by Ifor Pritchard were masterful and filled with character. As a perfect end to a wonderful day, Daphne, Abigail and I also had a hug from Rolf Harris – yes, ‘the’ Rolf Harris!
