Coast & Country Crafts and Quilts Newsletter
Bank Holiday discount and stunning quilts
We hope that you have all enjoyed a refreshing drop of rain to cool you down and revive gardens and crops. Everywhere is starting to look a little greener again.
|
We have also been revived this week as we are lucky enough to have been a stall holder at Kernow Quilter’s Exhibition in Falmouth. What an absolute feast for the senses. Such amazingly beautiful creations by the ladies in the group. There were also delicious homemade cakes and lunches and the chance to win a gorgeous quilt made by the group.
|
|
The exhibition is still on this today until 330pm so if you’re close by please pop in. For those unable to attend and take in the sights we will showcase a lot of the makes below. We hope you feel as inspired as we have been.
|

Look at some of the stunning creations from the Kernow Quilters ladies. Such a huge variety of projects and styles. Brights and muted monochromes. Geometric and floral. Modern and traditional.
We think they deserve to be seen by a wider audience. We hope that you find them inspiring and enjoy our virtual exhibition of their hard work and loving creations.
