Many thanks to all who have contributed to this charity.

The Chairman's Challenge: Each year our Chairman Chris sets a quilting challenge to be completed and displayed at our Christmas party. This year we were asked to use a specific piece of fabric and include it in a piece of work entitled "What December means to me". The entries are then displayed during the meeting. Here are this year's entries....

Me and My Quilts by Sarah

Sarah showed us a selection of her many quilts and wall hangings made over the last 25 years.

Barbara's Challenge

Barbara has taken up the challenge of walking 2km a day for the whole month of November. She is doing this to raise money for the World Cancer Research Charity and specifically for breast cancer research which is something close to her heart. As a club we are always happy to contribute to charities whenever possible and so we have made a donation to Barbara's fundraising page. Good luck Barbara!

Jane's Legacy

This year we sadly lost Jane who had been an active member of Campden Quilters for some time. She was an experienced quilter and crafter and had an extensive collection of books, patterns, fabrics and notions. Her family were keen for her collection to be used and enjoyed by fellow quilters and so following a series of sales at our meetings over the past few months we have been able to raise and donate £1000 to Cancer Research and an additional £1000 to Dorothy House, the hospice which cared for Jane.

NHS Property Bags

Many of our members have been busy making fabric property bags for the Gloucestershire NHS Trust. This was an initiative set up by Debbie Williams, End of Life Lead for Dying Matters Week. The donated bags will be used to give deceased patients' personal belongings back to their families. You can read more about the project here. We now have 35 bags ready to be sent off to them.

Charity Quilts for Linus

During our all day meeting in July we worked on some charity quilts for the Linus project. This year they are celebrating their silver anniversary and chose a chevron design for their quilts. Thanks go to Chris, Rachel and Lynn for the quilting and finishing.

✻ Campden Quilters Retreat 2026 ✻

We are organising a weekend quilting retreat from 6 - 8th March 2026 at Staverton Park Hotel, Daventry.

Come and spend a weekend together with friends and indulge yourself in a weekend of sewing.

WHY NOT HAVE A CLEAR OUT OF YOUR SURPLUS FABRIC & NOTIONS?

If you would like to have a sale the cost of a table is £10 and you get to keep all the money you make (so you can buy more fabric......)! If you only have a small amount to sell you could buddy up with a friend and pay £5 each. Please see any member of the committee who will arrange a date to book you in at one of our "sit and sew" meetings.
