This Regional Day is a ONE day event and our speaker for the morning is Gilli Theokritoff, who will be bringing you her lively and amusing talk “Please Don’t Look at the Back”. This is a quilt-filled rummage through Gilli’s quilting life from shoe designer to professional quilter. The afternoon will have a more relaxed feel, with Gilli guiding us in her Kantha Stitched Printed Panel Workshop. Kits will be available for £2 cash, you will just need to bring a small sewing kit to complete your panel. Taking part in the workshop isn’t compulsory, so please do stay for a chat and a cuppa. We welcome both QGBI members and non members from our region and beyond. Our Regional Days are great way to meet up with fellow quilters from across Essex and Suffolk, catch up with old friends and make new ones too. We will be hosting a Show & Tell, a BAG - (any shape & size) competition, a raffle and the Sales Table, where attendees can sell their unwanted quilting supplies.
