Tavistock Goosey Quilters Biennial Exhibition
We would like to welcome you to this year’s exhibition at Tavistock Town Hall and hope that it will give you as much pleasure as we have found in making the exhibits. Our theme this year is ‘Treads Through Time’.
In June 1986 a meeting was held to see whether there was enough interest in our area to start a patchwork group - there has proved to be a good deal of interest and Goosey Quilters is flourishing. The group’s name was taken from Tavistock’s Goose Fair and we have a regular membership of 30+ people, some of whom will be exhibiting their work for the first time this year. We meet twice a month at Tavistock Methodist Church hall, and our meetings include a mix of learning techniques and enjoying visiting speakers - plus of course welcoming groups to visit us or going out to visit other groups and admire their work.
The exhibition takes place on Thursday 12 noon to 4:30 pm, Friday 10:00am to 4:30 pm and Saturday 10:00am to 4:00pm. Every year we raise funds for different charities and this year our ‘group quilt’ will be raffled in aid of Tavistock Hospital League of Friends, a locally based charity, with the draw taking place in the town hall on Saturday 15th September at 3:30pm. Exhibition admission: £2 for adults, free for children, Tavistock Town Hall, Bedford Square (disabled access available). There will also be a sales table, refreshments and other traders’ stands. We look forward to welcoming our visitors.
