Exhibition of Quilts
Come and see this wonderful Big 24 Exhibition, a celebration of the fantastic work by quilters throughout East Anglia, including members of the Quilters Guild of the British Isles.
The exhibition will be officially opened by The Quilters Guild President, Sheila Evans, on Friday 26th April, with over 90 individual quilts being shown from members of Region 8 of The Quilters Guild and 19 of its Affiliated Groups within Essex and Suffolk.
Visitors have the opportunity to get involved and vote for their favourite quilt in the “Visitors’ Choice” competition and to enter a daily Sewing Themed Tombola, Handmade Bag Auction and Raffle, with tickets £1 each (cash only please).
The Exhibition Competition theme is “8” and has over 30 entries of A3 size quilts, which will be on display in the entrance area and will be judged by Sheila.
Special Exhibitions
There will also be a showcase of the work of former Region 8 committee member Helen Vivian: “A Lifetime in Quilting”, and a chance to see the wonderful Denman Quilt made by members of the Federation of Essex WIs depicting special places of Essex.
Don’t miss this chance to see such an amazing collection in one place.

We’re pleased to have supplied the christmas tree standing proud on Angel Hill, Bury St Edmund’s.
The decorations have been made by eight schools with @thecraftyfoxes, to create bottle buddy decorations from everyday waste.
It’s a reminder that festive decorations don’t have to cost the earth and that a bit of imagination can turn recycling into something joyful.
It’s also very much a team effort, with support from @btsgroupuk for the cherry picker and team, @westgatecommunityprimaryschool for the children involved, and @melanielesser for the creative inspiration.
We’re proud to support a community project that brings people together and adds a touch of home-made sparkle to Bury st Edmunds this christmas.

Last chance to get crafty this Christmas at Rougham Estate.
Our highly popular festive craft workshops, held in the beautiful surroundings of Blackthorpe Barn, are the perfect way to spend a creative half-day this winter.
We have spaces left for both Christmas Wreath Making and Fused Glass Decorations. These workshops are led by professional crafts people and allow you to take home a high-quality, long-lasting decoration crafted entirely by you.
Due to extremely high demand this year, only a very few spaces remain across all dates. If you plan to join us for a relaxing and inspiring crafting experience, please secure your tickets immediately.
Visit our website now for the full list of remaining availability and to book your place to avoid disappointment:

We are delighted to report back from the Suffolk Agricultural Association’s annual Farm Business Competition awards dinner on Friday night.
Back in June, we hosted the judges from Essex and the SAA stewards for a thorough inspection of the Estate. We faced incredibly stiff competition in the over 501 ha class, but we are extremely proud of the results we brought home:
Best Diversification in our class (for the second year running!)
Third place overall in the class
This achievement is a genuine team effort. A heartfelt thank you and well done to everyone on the Estate who contributed to this success. Your dedication is what makes this recognition possible.
Congratulations also to all the other worthy winners celebrated at the dinner tonight.
