Thank You to absolutely everyone....
Thanks to every single person that came along to the Quilt exhibition and joined in all the fun..and thank you to everyone that came to visit us at the shop...it was wonderful to meet so many of you and put lots of faces to names. Thank you to everyone that travelled long distances to join us for the weekend...it was wonderful to see you all.
Thank You to everyone that bought raffle tickets over the weekend to add to the amount raised for Wangaratta Health.
Thank you to  the amazing set up team that did such a brilliant job in preparing the venue and hanging the quilts, and thanks go to Kurt, the students from Castlemaine Secondary College and assorted husbands that came to offer us extra muscle on set up day.
Thank you CAG members, each and everyone of you, for your talent and generosity in sharing your quilts, all your enthusiasm and hard work in making the quilt show come together and for all the generous donations of fabrics, haby and books for our Quilters Mystery Box raffle.
Thank you to all the people that have sent us such wonderful, supportive, happy emails and thank you for all the wonderful comments left on our blog from those of you too far away for a visit in person.
