Thank you Farnham Quilters for having Loosethreads to talk and show our quilts, we couldn’t have timed it better as you were celebrating your birthday with wine and cake and made us fell very welcome.

What a lovely evening we hope to have inspired some of you to start a project, form a small group or even hold an exhibition.

There were some ladeis who wished to contact me, you can email Anna@loosethreads.co.uk
