The Tea Thyme Quilters @ St. Mark’s had a very successful Quilt Show and Sale in August, at the beautiful St. David’s Church. The church was in full regalia with over 100 quilts on display. The show brought in visitors from far and wide: England, USA and Cape Breton. Those who came where both pleased and amazed at the different styles and works of the Cape Breton Quilters and particularly the beauty of the church. Ladies from St. David’s greeted the visitors and shared information on the history of the church with the many visitors. Donations were received and everyone signed the guest book.
Quilts were hung between the windows, over the balcony and placed on all the pews, for a spectacular view. Many also enjoyed viewing the Blankets of Love Quilts made by local quilters. These quilts are made for patients in Nova Scotia suffering from a mental illness.
After viewing the quilts the visitors came into the hall for tea and cookies and especially to buy the many smaller quilted items for sale.
The Quilters are looking forward to next year’s show and hope it will be bigger and better than last year’s. (Especially with the Candy Shop traffic!)
