We had a blast ....

Festival of Quilts is over for another year and I’ve almost recovered! It was it’s usual busy, sometimes chaotic self. Lots of people to chat to, lots of things to see. Thank you to everyone who visited my stand. Thank you to those who signed up to read my posts. Thank you to those who bought fabric, dyes and screens etc. And a big thank you to those who brought a small piece of art from me (more about that in the next post!).

Thank you to the wonderful artists who demonstrated in The Creative Textile Studio and to all of you who watched a demo and chatted with the artists. Thank you to Hazel and Terry for being great colleagues and to Sharon for giving so much of her time (and for the jigsaw!). We’ll be pushing for a bigger space next year so please mention the Studio if you send feedback to the show organisers.

Thank you to the quilt judges for awarding Cadence 8: Flamin’ Nora (above) second place in the Art category of the open quilt competition. And to everyone who stopped by the stand to tell me how much they enjoyed the piece. She does make my heart sing!

Thank you to son Joe for all his hard work, I quite literally could not do it without him. And they know who they are ….. thank you for the sweaty hugs, the tearful moments, the catch up chats and the gossip. There really is nothing quite like Festival of Quilts.!
