Montague Patchers

Make a date in your diary for the 15th Exhibition of Patchwork and Quilting by the Montague Patchers in Sale.  It takes place on Friday 14 February and Saturday 15 February (10am - 4pm)  It is always an excellent show, supporting many charities, and remember that, if you miss it, you will have to wait two years for the next one!
