Scottish Quilt Show at Ingliston this weekend.

---------and I am really disappointed.  :o(

I feel very honoured that some of my quilts are being displayed by Grosvenor at the Spring Shows and Sandown this year. The nearest they come to Cumbria is the Ingliston show and I had hoped to be able to be there but it was not to be.

I do have the write up in the current Fabrications magazine to prove that it really did happen though. :o)
I do know I have seen all my quilts before (!) but it would have been thrilling to see them all hanging together wouldn't it?

After several weeks quiet--

I end up blogging twice in 24 hours! I forgot to mention last week that I received the current Fabrications magazine and two of my quilts at Sandown are mentioned.

but what got me excited was noticing this for the first time in print!

I knew it was planned but until it appeared in print I couldn't believe it. I still have to pinch myself!
In the next few weeks I will have to parcel up nearly all my quilts and won't see them again till sometime in 2011. Malvern is the first show in which they will be displayed.

Of course the big problem now is to work out how many I can put into the wheelbarrow to push 100 yards to the nearest point that the courier will be able to approach! The saga of the river wall and the road continues but more of that next week.
Suffice to say that it is now nine months since the Cockermouth floods and we don't yet have a start date for the wall to be rebuilt.

Fabrications has arrived,

"Fabrications" are always kind enough to send a magazine if they show a picture of your quilt and yesterday the newest magazine arrived with the coverage of National Quilt Championships Sandown in it.
If you click on the picture it will enlarge.

Postie has been :o)

You should have heard the squeals of delight as I unpacked the boxes with prizes etc from Sandown.

Love the fabric, keen to curl up with the books , really tickled with the purple rosettes and wow a Bernina!

Yes I am still going round with a silly grin on my face !
:o)

Fabrications magazine.

Whenever you have a quilt shown in Fabrications magazine they are really kind and send you a copy. The current issue has two of my quilts shown in the Sandown/Hoffman Challenge article. Neither of them will bring home any prizes or rosettes but it is rather nice to see them in print :o)



The picture below is of the full page advert for this years Great Northern Quilt Show in Harrogate. Last year my Coneflowers quilt was the overall champion winner which of course was a wonderful feeling! What didn't sink in at the time was how many times I would see that quilt in print and on flyers for this year's show. I daren't even begin to think how many pictures of it there are or even how far they have travelled!
