Mere Quilters (in Every Nook & Cranny)

I was very fortunate to be invited along by my dear friend Vicky C.

to the Mere Quilters Quilt Exhibition in Windemere today.

Set in a beautiful home overlooking glorious Lake Windemere

and bursting with charm and character and....

QUILTS!!!

I overheard a lady coming down the stairs saying:

'There are quilts in every nook and cranny!'

And there were! Quilts in the bedrooms,

the hallway, the shower room, the workroom...!

What an amazingly prolific group of quilters.

An absolute feast for the eyes and so many beautiful quilts to see and enjoy.

I certainly didn't manage to take everything in!

But I did spot a Lone Star which was lovely

 and reminded me of my Mother's long-term Lone Star

that we are hoping to finish together one day!!

Lots of Christmassy quilts

(less than a 100 days to go now I believe!!)

Quilts on beds...

And quilts needing close-ups like this hexagon quilt...

So many beautiful quilts...

and fun wallhangings...

And this one with sheep! Love it!

With all the beds and chairs etc. adorned with quilts

there was nowhere to sit and admire them, 

however, the dining room offered some excellent home-made refreshments!

I was delighted to have met a lovely lady called Janet

who made this super hexagon bag! (among many other wonderful things!)

And I also met a lady called Susan who made this Log Cabin

(also among many many other wonderful things!)

What a great day out, thank you Mere Quilters!
