Spring time


There is always so much going on in our small city at this time of the year....

We just had our annual quilt show (last year it was covid cancelled)

I took a few pictures...











these are not all of them but the best I could do.... a lovely assortment.  I never do viewers choice as I love them all in different ways....

My favourite shop (now on-line) The Quilters Angel were there with a lovely assortment of goodies


A busy week, a lot of fun, old faces to see, new faces to meet.

One of my Tuesday sewing day ladies also does cake icing..... this is her cake for the opening..... 


Isn't it just magnificent.... all hand crafted

I have made some progress on my blackwork but to be honest I am in a muddle as to what I have shown...

I think these are the 3 latest ones....

Wild Garlic

Nigella

Crocus

Righto, Gotto Go.....  the weekend is here... bits and bobs to do.....

Hope you find some time for something fun....

Thank you so much, Fiona, for sharing this wonderful quilt show with us. I had to click and blow up all the pictures as I didn't want to miss one of them. They are ALL fabulous! Love the string quilts and the one on the right in the third picture. The third one from the left in the first picture reminds me that I started one like that. Maybe I should dig it out and work on it a bit.
Love your stitchery. Always so beautiful. Enjoy the weekend. ;^)

What talent in your area!!! The quilts are beyond amazing!
I love your Blackwork SAL, very striking. I keep seeing more and more cross stitch pieces. I may have to get out more of mine.
Thanks for the inspiration.

I love quilt 250, but can’t read the label. Any chance you can and it gives the pattern? What a wonderful show!

I understand about Viewers Choice - there are often so many worthy of a vote.

What a wonderful display of quilts, so much beautiful work in them. We haven't had any shows lately, so hopefully they can start up again, next year.
