Exhibitions

Ouse Valley Quilters' first exhibition was held in 1998 at Bentley Wildfowl and Motor Museum followed by a second exhibition 2 years later at the same venue. OVQ now have exhibitions of work every 2 years. Our 2010 exhibition was held on Friday August 27th & Saturday 28th at Ringmer Community College. This was the most successful exhibition we have ever had. The hall full of beautiful quilts was absolutely stunning, what a lot of talent in one group. A great deal of money has been raised for our charities and some really lovely Linus Quilts have been donated. There was a cushion Tombola, lovely refreshments, items for sale and a raffle.
