Exhibition goes under covers in Silk Willoughby Church
St Denis' Church Quilt and Flower Festival in Silk Willoughby was a great success, welcoming 440 visitors to the event, according to organisers.
Janet Johnson from the church said people felt it had a ‘wow factor’ and believed the three day showcase raised a good sum towards the church’s future upkeep.
She said: “We had vintage sewing items loaned by people in the village and items from the village Quilting Club.”
