What kind of quilter
goes to a quilt show without their camera
(or their money!!!) ????
Me! What a ... (fill in the blank LOL),
but yes, I was lucky enough to visit
The Great North Quilt Show
in Harrogate this weekend and only
when I got to the door did I realise I'd
left the essentials behind!
Never fear, I was with a friend
and a bag full of small change
and hidden notes!
Luckily, my phone takes ok pictures,
so these have all been snapped
on my little phone...
These photos are just a sample
of some things that took my eye:
I have been meaning to make
an alphabet quilt for years...
Maybe for the grandkids *sigh!*
Thought this one was nice and cheerful:
*****
These hexagons were too tiny!!!:
*****
Loved these houses:
*****
The idea of appliqueing a quirky border
over a traditional quilt intriqued me
(non-traditional colours though!!):
*****
The big picture I took of this quilt
didn't come out, but I loved the use of scraps:

This 'Dear Jane' quilt was amazing!:
Longarm-quilted by Longarm Chris!
So bright and cheery!
And here are Longarm Chris's quilts!:
The quilting is spectacular!!
mmm, lovely!
Well-earned ribbons too!
And this is Chris's 'Urban Nine-Patch':
Also full of well-deserved ribbons!
Baby-Kalico was very well-behaved
considering the heat (! yes, it was warm!),
and the fact that Mummy kept stopping to look at
quilts and stalls!

I thought this quilt was fun:
And this was a novel way
of putting your hexagons together
(again the bigger picture was terribly blurry!)
*****
Loved this quilt,
although these are not my colours at all!:
But nice and scrappy and very cute!
*****
And some patriotism was on display too:
*****
I just hapened to be there
when this quilt display came tumbling down!
A few people laughed at me taking a photo -
a bit mean of me, I know, but life's a blog LOL
*****
And I was delighted that finally
Mrs Welshquilter and I got to meet!
I was spoilt with this lovely embroidery!:
It's hanging over the fireplace!
Thank you so much Andrea!

And I'll leave you with a shot of
my recent bake:
Victoria Sponge filled with red currant jam
that was made by a friend in the village
...yummm, there goes my diet!
