Day 1 Shipton Quilters

Jenny on the Left  and Mary our very own Land Army girls

The first day of our quilt show was very very busy indeed and look what we have here! Our very own Land Army Girls.
Jenny on the left made the quilt to commemorate her mothers time in the WOMENS LAND ARMY in World War 2. So that was the theme for the room that they decorated at the exhibition.
Mary and Jenny have gone to so much effort with their room. Farm implements , sacks of potatoes an old scare crow watching the proceedings, Gas masks,strings of old Union Jacks, books about the role the Land Army girls played in the war,We even had Vera Lynn singing - Will Meet Again.
To top it all they even dressed in the genuine article of clothing - A lot of elderly people passed through and one had been in the Land Army so it bought back plenty of memories for her and bought plenty of smiles from us all.

Thanks Jenny and Mary for making it even more of fun day.
