The Sewing Space Quilt Show

 was held the day after the retreat. As it was the Oast Quilters' AGM in the afternoon I visited the Show in the morning.It was a last hurrah for Angie who owned the lovely Sewing Space in Hythe and the quilts were made by her students including many beginners, the theme being "My First . . " Through her teaching she will have touched many lives introducing her students to a new and absorbing creative activity and new friendships.  The good news is that while Angie has returned to her native USA Claire has taken over the shop and whose impressive quilts are pictured here.



Meanwhile the Show was held in the Tin Tabernacle a most interesting builing erected as a "temporary" measure in 1893. The last service was in 2011 when it was no longer needed as an adjunct to the main parish church.
