Sew and Sews Quilt Show

I went to Sew and Sews' show at St Saviour's Church, Folkestone, today and loved the great light space of the church and impressed by the 162 items listed in the catalogue. The old flying geese quilt was made by a Phyllis Ripley and some information about her was on display as was another quilt she made. The "Sunset" quilt on the altar was made by Jean Gale who also made the Tree of Life quilt hanging below the East Window. Lovely work. The group was raising money for the repair and restoration of church banners.
The long landscape sections to the right beneath the East Window were made by Ethelburga Quilters for the church in Lyminge.

What a beautiful church!

I've been reading your quilt room makeover. Good For You! You'll wonder why it took you so long to do it.
