Woohoo - a weekend with Jackie, and with a zillion other (mostly) ladies in Birmingham.
Some stunning quilts were on show: This amazing piece was made but a lovely friend of Jackie's called Valerie
And a close up
And these next two are by the very talented Avril: a friend who also attends Richmond & Key Quilters
This circle was made from gathered fabric - gathered as if for smocking - I was desperate to touch it: a lovely piece of wall art, although the pleats must collect so much dust!!
These are dorset buttons: tiny ones about thumbnail size, mounted in plastic rings
After 14000+ steps, we went to the town to find out hotel,
and show our purchases
I started this blog for me - it expanded to show BFF Jackie what I was doing - and a few others have invited themselves too - everybody welcome! Mostly about patchwork, with random comments about embroidery, family and life in general, come on in, put your feet up, and I'll put the [virtual] kettle on.
Sounds exhausting but lots of fun! Love the quilt photos you've chosen to share! xxx
ReplyDeleteIt was a fun couple of days!
ReplyDeletesome beauties shared here thought I had seen all the quilts but now know I did not
ReplyDeleteLucky you two! I’ve yet to make it there even though I’ve had a quilt win a HC a few years ago. Must plan with Elsa one day.
