\n People came from near and far to visit the annual Quilting Exhibition, which is put on by the Maldwyn Quilters every year.\n<\/p>\n
\n Group chair, Chris Smith, said: \u201cWe are a quilting group based in Carno Community Centre, we meet throughout the year, and every July we hold our annual exhibition.\n<\/p>\n
\n “This year our members have excelled and done us proud, producing a lovely selection of quilts and craft items.”\n<\/p>\n
\n For many years, patchwork and quilting had gone\u00a0out of fashion, something with Chris says is mainly because it was associated with years of ‘make do and mend’.\u00a0\n<\/p>\n
\n But in the last 30 years, the popularity of all handicrafts has gone from strength to strength, and many people are now involved in craft work.\n<\/p>\n
\n Chris continued: “Manufacturers have become aware of these trends and have responded by producing specialist equipment and beautiful fabrics.\n<\/p>\n
\n “This year’s exhibition reflects the diverse range of patchwork fabrics that are now available for us to use in our work.\n<\/p>\n
\n “Most of our members follow the same patterns we provide for them, but the use of different fabrics produces vastly different pieces of work.”\n<\/p>\n
\n Some of the quilts included in the exhibition were made by members to go to Mid Wales Family Crisis Centre.\n<\/p>\n
\n Each year, the group makes and raffles a quilt (and other items), and the donations from this year\u2019s raffle will be going to Llanbrynmair and Carno 1st Brownies and Guides and Carno Community Council.\n<\/p>\n
\n At the close of the exhibition, members will be going home with a requirements list and instructions to start making new quilts in September.\n<\/p>\n
\n These will then be forming part of next year’s display, which will again be held at the end of the Royal Welsh Show week.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"People came from near and far to visit the annual Quilting Exhibition, which is put on by the…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":314357,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5010],"tags":[748,4884,16,15,1764],"class_list":{"0":"post-314356","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-wales","8":"tag-britain","9":"tag-great-britain","10":"tag-uk","11":"tag-united-kingdom","12":"tag-wales"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@uk\/114964538590017179","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/314356","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=314356"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/314356\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/314357"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=314356"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=314356"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=314356"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
