March Winds

It was a very breezy day for our recent meeting, but then, it was March!  There was a good turnout, as usual, and people were keen not only to meet our speaker, Linda Forey, but to bag some bargains from the table top sale. 


We never quite know what we will find in the hall when we arrive, and this time there was a raised area in the centre.  Since we had no demos this month, we decided to put some of the tables on this dias.  It attracted plenty of buyers.


There were also tables in the library, as usual, so lots to spend your money on.


Then, after lunch we welcomed our speaker, Linda Forey.  I first met Linda at a party at my brother's house, and my husband introduced us, 'This is Linda, and she's a quilter, and this is Lynda and she's a quilter!'  We had a lot in common to talk about!  Her work is much more accomplished then mine and she has won lots of prizes for her quilts, quite rightly. She was also an amusing and inspiring speaker, with plenty of quilts to show.


It's a shame the table is in front of this quilt, as it was stunning.


Linda's quilts ranged from the traditional to art.  Here is one with sand and sea. 


This masterpiece was all hand pieced over papers.  It was a travel project.  Fabulous!
Thank you for coming and sharing your work with us, Linda.
