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.

Meet Grace – barista at Roots Café and soon-to-be triathlon superstar! 🚴♀️🏃♀️🏊♀️
She’s taking on the Outlaw Half Holkham this July:
that’s a 1.2 mile swim, 56 mile cycle, and a casual 13.1 mile run to finish (we’re out of breath just typing that).
Grace has been training hard for months and is raising money for Alzheimer’s Research UK – a cause close to many hearts. What an inspiration. 💜
If you spot her in Roots Café, wish her luck by (she isn’t always wearing her helmet at work 😂), or better yet, support her journey here:

What a glorious county we live in!
On the estate we have a cracking crop of wheat with a beautiful back drop of blue sky, hedgerows buzzing and a margin full of Ox-eye daisies.
This is farming and nature working in harmony!
