That's right, all in one day. A steam gala came to town complete with a traction engine that powered a huge carnival organ. Also a little trip on the famous ride on train into the woods where you get to see all the teddy bear picnics....but this time there was also MAYPOLE DANCING BEARS!!!
And then after this a Quilt show where there was a wonderful display of colourful quilts and bags and it just makes you want to gather all your fabric scraps and make a proper quilt. Or better yet make this wonderful quilted bird bag, Brenda o'Carroll has the most wonderful eye for colour. I might have to find out where this fabric is from!
Another treat was the huge amount of hand made things to buy ( i got a beautiful floral embroidered broach for £2.50) And a free cup of tea and homemade cake to rest before taking part in the BEST raffle i have ever seen. Between the quilting group they had made about 40 bags and then all you had to do was buy a strip on tickets for £1, write your details on the back and then on each bag was a little pocket so you would only enter for the bags you wanted. There would then be a mini draw for each one and voila, bag raffle! Fingers crossed i won :)
