What a beautiful room for a quilt exhibition. You could really stand
back and see each quilt properly.
I went to Chilford today and you just couldn't get far enough back to
get a good view which was a pity as there were some beautiful quilts
including a lot of large ones that you couldn't really get the full
effect from.
Very crowded too, but I was there when it opened so was able to get the
shopping in first before it got too bad. I bought much needed thread, a
Suffolk Puff (Yoyo) maker that I'd rather scorned until I saw the
demonstration and the perfectly pleated results - far neater than my
efforts. I also got a pattern for a small bag and the fabrics for it
from the Oakshott(?) stand. They are cotton but look like shot silk, and
I'd seen their adverts in Quilting mags. but never seen the actual
fabric before. Its stunning. I even found a matching button for it from
the Button Lady!
Also bought an instruction booklet for turning a hessian bag from Tescos
into a beautiful quilted shopping bag, and fell for the packs of fabric
for it - all couturier fabrics - embroidered, sequinned, lace, silk etc.
and very opulent, and only £4 for a bag of 14 pieces of assorted sizes.
I have a feeling I'll be doing several of these - may be an idea for
Christmas 2010. I like to put the family's presents in some kind of
container - this year it is the brightly coloured plastic garden trug
things. I was given one last year, and it is so useful.
Now I must use the thread to complete quilting my UFOs before I start on
the bags. I'll have to be very strong willed!!

This is amazing!
I went to the Autumn Fair in Malvern a week ago. I, too, bought thread
(long needed!); *and I bought a stack of Oakshott fabrics - and I
haven't seen them at a show before. I was at the show with a dear
'enabler'!! As some of you know I buy for projects (virtually always)
and had gone off one of the sets I had. It was suggested that, as I
loved the Oakshott fabrics I should replace the unwanted with the wanted
show/hide quoted text
>gg<. So I did!
The thread that I bought is for a languishing basted top. Mind you, I
do have a reason for its having to wait so long. I saw an advert in a
local magazine from a long-arm quilter who was also offering a basting
service. Ooooh! I thought - no messing about just start quilting. I
had two done. I quilted the first one and then had to go over the whole
quilt unpicking the basting stitches; but, because they were machined,
there was no quick pulling out - it took hours. Thus, I have put off
doing the second one. It must get done - it's a lap quilt and I need
it!!
