The old newsagent’s at 124 Bradley Street was transformed into a bazaar, glowing with riotous colours and patterns – which left at least one woman gobsmacked.
“One of the workers hadn't been here for the last two days,” organiser Robin Godlonton said. “She walked in this morning, stood at the door, and went 'Wow!'."

Eleven contributors – mostly from Guyra, but also a couple from Armidale – displayed their works.
The Guyra quilters were members of a little craft group that meets every Friday at Caffiends in Bradley Street.
“We’re really happy with it,” Mrs Godlonton said. “It’s delightful to see such lovely work. Not all of us have time, but we have fun!”
The group also show their work at the Lamb and Potato Festival and the Ben Lomond Winter Fair.
Making a quilt can take from a few months to a few years.
"You can start one,” quilter Glenda Soraghan said, ‘and you can put it in the cupboard and forget about it for 10 years, then pull it out and finish it. It can be a long process, but if you’re really keen, you can do one much faster! It depends on the size, and your experience.”
Profits went to the New England Wigs and Headwear Library.
