First General Meeting 2020 - 1: Kwiltedoor

The conclusion of our Kwiltedoor competition was held during the meeting.  The two participating teams, Stukkies and Sterre, started at 07h00 with the huge task of finishing up a quilt each from the qualifying blocks stitched during the previous rounds.

The Sterre team with Marietjie Thomas in front, Petro van der Merwe left and Gerda Cronjé-Vermeulen right.

The Stukkies team from left to right are Ina Beukes, Charlotte Naudé and Johanna Engelbrecht.















And then it was time to choose a winner, not an easy task at all with two such competent quilting teams.  At stake was a weekend away as well as this beautiful trophy.
