Getting out and about

It was wonderful to be at the Scottish Quilting Show in Glasgow last week. The atmosphere was very different to the last time we were there two years ago. Then we were all nervous and anxious about a new virus that would go on to cause so much sorrow and hardship. This time there was a sense of hope and of life getting back to normal. It was so lovely to meet old friends and to see many familiar faces.

I was busy demonstrating breakdown printing on my stand and enjoyed explaining the process to so many visitors. I’d like to thank all of those who took the time to talk about printing and about the quilts I had on display. And all those who spent money …. the Wonky Print Inspiration Packs went down very well! I’d like to thank the lovely ladies on adjacent stands for ensuring there wasn’t an unwanted puddle behind the stand on the Thursday when I was on the stand by myself. And a very big thanks to my friend Ruth Brown for joining me for the rest of the show (Ruth is teaching two bookbinding workshops in my studio this year).

I printed ten pieces of fabric during the show. These will be appearing in a Wonky Print Pack soon as I am exhibiting at The Creative Craft Show at the ExCel Centre in London on the 1st and 2nd April. As soon as I have details of my stand I will share them with you. I will be printing on my stand and will have lots of my hand dyed and printed fabrics with me …. but only if I get a wriggle on ….

Bye for now, Leah
