We met last year when she needed a lift from the airport to Sandown for the International Quilt exhibition, and ended up cadging a bed for the night too, then we arranged to share a hotel room at NEC last year and we've spent the last two days in quilting heaven - yesterday at the V&A, and today at Sandown again. We have so much in common I suspect we were born as twins and separated at birth.
We had a great two days but I've now taken her back to the airport, so I'm gloating over all my purchases and wondering what to do first!!!

and the car fabrics are evidence of the dangers of taking daughters anywhere that money can be spent! We bought these for a quilt for the boyfriend, Sam, and also got an inspirational book on journal quilts for her.
She wants to take a sewing machine to Uni in September, but is realistic enough to know that she needs to aim for something small and finishable, hence journal quilts. I'm looking forward to preparing a sewing basket to take with her!
