We're probably taking a longish trip to the UK over the Christmas
period, the main areas we'll be in are Manchester, Hull, Edinburgh and
Cambridge, but there will probably be day trips to catch up with friends
who aren't in those locations.
So firstly, I'd like to compile a list of shops worth visiting and
secondly, I'd like to extend my services as transporter of goods, my
last visit, I brought over some rotary cutting blades for someone.
The more warning I have, the more chance I have of getting good offers!
Cheers
Anne

The trip will be great for you I'm sure Anne.
Pity we are so far away. Sunny Cornwall atm! Had a great day out in
Falmouth today.

Hi Anne,
Glad to hear you may be coming back to the UK for a visit, hope it helps
you touch base even though Christmas has its own demands.
I don't think I need anything transporting, but am in the Manchester
area myself (jct 19 M62) and would be happy to meet up and have a coffe
find some fabric or just chill. Drop me an email if you feel up to that.
Lizzy

I am nowhere near any of your locations - I rarely am!
However, in case you weren't 'into' quilting when you were in Cambridge,
perhaps you might find time to visit The Bramble Patch, near
Northampton. If you think it is possible for you, just let me know and
I will send you full address, telephone number and directions.

I'm in Selby, you pass my door!
So you've got to visit the National Quilt Museum in York.
http://www.quiltmuseum.org.uk/
What a treat, and if you email them, they could probabably get
something out for you if you wanted. There are also new exhibitions
due over Christmas, so depending on your dates you might catch either,
or both. The New Year one sounds particularly good.
As for LQS, we are fairly poor in that area. there's a good one in
Scarborough, but that's a fair step up the coast from Hull. If you
travel to Edinburgh from Hull/Manchester by car there are a couple
with good reputations on the way.
And if you had time to pop into Beamish, you'd get an eyeful of all
the lovely Durham quilts.

And Jedburgh is a great stopping off place with a famous history.
that's a start.
