We blinked and now its November!
The Biggar Quilters have been decompressing since the fantastic quilt show we put on in September which showcased the very best of our quilts... and it was all for a great cause!
The total amount raised was £6275.60 🤯 for both of our chosen local charities. This was so much more than any of us could ever have hoped we would achieve and cannot be more thankful to ALL OF YOU!! who came along and supported.
Yesterday, after waiting on our cheques arriving, we were finally able to give that money over to our 2 chosen charities, split evenly of Life Well Lived, Biggar and Biggar Local Committee for Cancer Research UK . Some of our magnificent ladies went along to the Gillespie Centre to not only donate our cheques but were invited to stay for a blether and a sing song!
I would be amiss if I missed this oppertunity again to thank all of our ladies, as they all contributed to the exhibition, for all of our kind donations of raffle prizes, for our lucky dip donations, donations for tombola, the stands that the quilts were displayed on were all handmade by Charlie and team, and just for every single thing that went into the exhibition. I don't think I could ever say thank you enough.
Our ladies are winding down now for the festive season, but we are still quilting away, doing what we love to do which is stitch, blether and eat cake.
Many thanks again
Biggar Quilters ❤️🪡
