Festival of Quilts

on
Back from teaching at the Festival of Quilts with a brain full of ideas and inspiration after having seen some beautiful work.  Met some lovely people on my workshop and at my lecture.  My favourite exhibits are (quite rightly) the ones where you can't take photos, but here are the links if you didn't get chance to go, to some of my highlights.

Also the beautiful kantha quilting of Padmaja Krishnan - amazing tiny stitches of detail.

I had a great time and have to thank Dionne http://www.dionneswift.co.uk/ for giving me a lift and setting me up with accomodation while I was there.  :)

If you went along to the Festival of Quilts, let me know what your favourites were....

    I was amazed how many people were taking photos and just assuming it was OK to do so! Loved Mary Lloyd Jones' work too and just wished I'd had more time to look at it closely - colours were amazing x
