The Quilt Festival in Dunfanaghy

The Quilt Festival was spread out all over Dunfanaghy. There were quilts displayed in the Ozanam Centre, which is our community centre ,some quilts exhibited at Arnold's Hotel, a bit of a display at The Church of Ireland, and finally a huge display at the Workhouse, where there is also a craft shop, coffee shop and Famine Exhibit.Joe was the official photographer,and he took tons of pics so you could all see the wonderful quilts made by our local quilters. The Sheephaven Guild organized the event, and many quilters were present there, so it was great fun. There were also classes that the locals could take in bag making, making a quilt in a day, and good food provided.

These were the pics taken in the Ozanam Centre. The Country Market was going on too, so you are seeing a bit of that also.

Here are pics of the Workhouse, and a view of the craft shop there and the coffee shop. You can also see the glass panels on the door representing the Famine Period.

These pics were taken upstairs in the Workhouse.

Hope you enjoyed a tour of our quilt festival and I loved sharing it with you.
