A Group Outing

On Sunday a group of us went to the NEC for the Festival of Quilts. We had a lovely time and it was really nice to go in a group, even if we did temporarily lose one person!

We saw Julie's quilt which was stunning. It was nice to see it in the flesh. We also saw some of Gina's work. Her work was been used to promote the Julia Caprara School Of Textile Arts.

I did make a few considered purchases. Some fabric obviously, you can't go to a show like that and not buy any fabric.



A couple of kits.



A few books.

And some more, just in case.



I have finished my Flying Geese bag. The geese aren't meant to have points. I'm really pleased with how it has turned out.



I used plastic handles for a change.





This sunflower is in my garden, it's so pretty I thought I'd share it with you.




I have done some more work in my sketchbook but I'll show you that another day, but I will tell you that it involved something you would normally use in cooking.
