Quilters in Singapore 2008 Challenge Luncheon & Exhibition at The British Club.

Meeting time was at 11 am.

The British Club is a very grand place. I saw Tennis courts and a very big swimming pool and the Club House. The luncheon and the Quilt Exhibition were on 2nd floor.

After the registration I went in to see the quilts. After a short while I thought: wait a minute isn't that Danish pop music they are playing (with Danish lyrics). So there I was in Singapore standing in The British Club listening to 'Dodo and the Dodos' and Sebastian. Who would have thought that 3 months ago? I didn't.

 The challenge for the quilters participating in the challenge was to use a parsley print fabric in their quilts.

The large oriental quilt was raffled off. The proceeds from the quilt, was more than S$3200. The money went to an ANZ retirement home for WWII veterans in Singapore.
