Travelling so early at this time of the year, is magical. All the hollows and lower valleys have light mists in them and the fells just seem to float over them. Travelling home is even more magical as the fells are misty blue almost as if they were painted on stacked sheets of glass .
I took a shopping list with me this time as I usually bring back stuff bought on impulse and then curse that I have forgotten to get something that I did need. My first purchase was these two adapters for my Bernina 200e. The one on the right will allow the machine to use low shank feet or attachments like the ruffler etc.
The one on the left is never advertised in UK but allows the Artistas, Auroras etc to use some clip on feet. In the main I prefer to use a Bernina foot but there are some specialist clip on feet that this will be very useful for.
Next on my list was this little tin of soluble wax pastels. I am intrigued at wax being water soluble?
After that some Angelina and some scarves . I have forgotten to take a picture of them but they are soft blues and greens. These are for an ocean project which is still at the "think about" stage.
Lastly a small Paisley pattern wood stamp block which I think might just work in with the pinky purple quilt I am working on at the moment. I wasn't looking for this----------it found me! :o)
(I am getting quite carried away with the current project and keep doing more and more to it.)
The show itself was very enjoyable!
The Textile Treasures of the WI was awe inspiring and it was fascinating watching how styles changed over the decades.
The rest of the time there was spent just looking at the various exhibits and students work and generally picking up creative vibes from everything.
A very enjoyable day!
