Meander Quilters Guild Quilt Exhibition

If you didn't go to this exhibition, then you have REALLY missed something good!

Howick is only about 1 1/2 hours drive from Durban and the venue- at the Howick High School was really easy to find. Its just off the N3.

Four of us went - and shared the petrol so it didn't dent the pocket too much.

The guild members did a stirling job in a lovely venue with quilts that were a joy to see. I was very impressed with what I saw so CONGRATULATIONS, LADIES! What impressed me was the standard of workmanship and I am just a bit surprised that we don't see more of these quilters' work at the Royal Show and at Festivals.

I managed to track down some of the exhibitors for permission to feature their quilts on this blog so enjoy what I have so far.
