QUILT ENCOUNTER 2011 - Thank-you from a 'happy camper'

Hello Lessa and all the organising committee

I just wanted to let you know that I thoroughly enjoyed my 6 days at the Quilt Encounter last month. I apologise for being so tardy in sending this email but things have been rather busy with work and Vic Quilters Showcase.

I came over not knowing quite what to expect and was absolutely delighted with the whole event.

From the minute I stepped out of the car I was greeted, by exceptionally, friendly and helpful ladies and this continued throughout the whole time I was there. I commend you all and appreciate the work put in by all your members. The event ran like clockwork in a friendly relaxed atmosphere and I am still amazed at the generosity of your sponsors and supporters. It was an ideal venue and suited the event to a T. You secured a range of extremely high calibre Tutors to suit everyone’s interest, which is not an easy thing to do at any time.

Thank you again for a delightful week of instruction, friendship and laughter. I think I came home a little heavier than when I left, the jeans are a bit firmer than they were.

I feel I have made hundreds of new friends and I am looking forward to coming back next year to renew those friendships.

I hope to see you all in 2012. Love to you all. Wendy Blyth
