A MENAI Bridge haberdashery shop is hoping to raise cancer charity funds with a special quilting event.

Fabracadabra, which supplies fabric, wool and sewing classes, on the High Street, has organised a sewing activity in aid of Cancer Research UK.

Sewing fans were invited to buy pre-cut quilt block of material for £5 and to go along to the shop to sew on Thursday, April 26.

All the pieces will eventually be sewn together into a quilt by shop proprietor Nicola Owen and Julie Jones.

"We hope people will come along and take part, the finished quilt will be raffled off to raise funds for cancer research and we'll have also refreshments available to buy." Anyone interested should drop by or call 01248 714043 for more information.
