I am becoming rather well known for forgetting to take pictures at quilt shows and the Wentworth Quilters Exhibition was no different.
Sorry folks, one day I will get my act together.
It was a terrific show on what was a spectacularly windy day. Congratulations to all involved. There is so much work involved in one of these. The venue was historic Linnwood House.
I did have a little shopping spree at the stalls. Shop of the Day was Patchwork Plus from Miranda. I bought these.
Scrap Basket Surprises is a terrific book by Kim Brackett. Her blog is Magnolia Bay Quilts. All of the projects use 2 1/2 inch scrap strips or jelly rolls. I'd like to make all the projects featured. Nice work Kim.
I also picked up some reproductions fabrics for making Ann Hermes miniature quilts, some Metro Goes Au Naturel fat quarters and a couple of pincushions.
A little while ago I entered Lena's giveaway over at LeKa Quilts and I won a consolation prize. It arrived this week and it's as sweet as sweet can be.
Thank you so much Lena. I adore it!
Happy Stitching
I love those fabrics -- yummy! And your little pink bag from Lena. It's adorable. Thanks so much for mentioning my book! I hope you enjoy the projects.
ReplyDeletehahaha! I'm the one who's battery always dies in her camera at quilt shows! Like your purchases, and can't wait to see your take on Ann's minatures. I still haven't tried one yet.
ReplyDeleteLove the pincushions, but the patterns will keep you busy for a while! The little bag is so-o-o cute, lucky you!
ReplyDeleteGood buys Ann...and I love those repro fabrics...I'm really into those at the moment. I bought some at the Craft Fair but not used them yet. Congratulations on the win...Have a lovely Sunday...Dzintra♥x

ReplyDeleteI haven't been to a quilt show in ages. I hope you came away very inspired. :)

ReplyDeleteCan't wait to see what you make from the book. Looks like fun.
