From set up to showtime - The CQ@20 Gallery in all its glory!
From the set up day on Wednesday to the close on Sunday the CQ@20 gallery was constantly busy. There was lots of appreciation for the wonderful quilts and the display.
A frequent comment was 'It's the best gallery at the Festival!'. So thank you to all members who made a quilt for Uncharted, provided a quilt for the Suitcase Collection 'On The Road' or created a Joined-up Journal Quilt. |
An extra special thank you to the CQ@20 Committee who made it all possible - Maggie Pearson, Janine Pound, Annie Henderson-Begg, Deena Goff, Glynys Davies, Judy Fairless and Khurshid Bamboat. Also to the hanging team for the gallery who made such a special display of the wonderful work, Maggie Pearson, Annie Henderson-Begg, Janine Pound, Jane Falls, Alison Livesley, Liz Howlett and Matthew Maisey.
