This page is dedicated to the Young Quilter - past and current, and the work they have produced.
This group has been producing wonderful work for over 12 years.
We have photos of the first workshops - the children from these have become graduates and parents!
There are already 22 children on the register - but we can sometimes take new members.
For more details email Jill using the contact page.

The Young Quilters 'Christmas' workshop in
December was a great success.
The girls, including the helpers, made delightful 'musical boxes'.
We have made fabric covered boxes in the past,
but this time we added a musical mechanisim which played 'Silent Night'.
Everyone went home with a completed box,
beautifully made - a gift that I know mums will treasure!
A very relaxed morning of sewing!
Children, helpers and their music boxes.
The completed Musical Boxes.
Although we made Christmas boxes with the tune of 'Silent Night' in them-
if enough people were interested,
I would be happy to have another workshop
to make boxes with the 'Happy Birthday' tune - which would make great presents for friends.
If interested contact me - Jill - via the contact page.

The Bag making workshop -16th July 2011 was great.
Held at short notice, we had 7 girls and amazingly 7 helpers!
It was a busy morning and the girls all made a terrific bag -
completed in the short morning session.
Some of the helpers have since made their own version of the bag.
All chose the delightful Scottie Dog Fabric - to rival Radley bags!!

The Young Quilters 'Father's Day' workshop was a great success, with 12 children attending.
We had a really lovely day. As usual the work produced was wonderful - so imaginative. We made 'Owl' doorstops.
Following a basic pattern, everyone adapted it and produced their very own individual 'Owl'.
I am sure all Dads will be thrilled to receive one on Father's day.
