Macmillan Coffee Morning and Quilt Show – October 2024
Haven Quilters held a Quilt Exhibition and Macmillan Coffee morning which was a huge success due to every member getting involved. What teamwork. The quality of the quilts was amazing, all credit to our members. Crafty-UK came along with their fabric and acrylic rulers that they make any size to order. The group made more than £2,000 to be divided between Macmillan and Linkage.
