They had the quilts on display in a separate building, so I will deal with those first. Lovely Hexy ones here. The one below cleverly had hints of that pink up in the left hand corner, elsewhere in the quilt to balance it and lead the eye.
More big hexi's, this time in the form of a One Block Wonder. This reminds me of the whimsical paintings on jigsaws but I can't recall the name of the artist.
Here is one that Ilona will recognize. Sue Jennings' One Block Wonders were there in all their glory.
I liked this seaside themed hanging by Gillian Travis.
This is also by Gillian Travis (Journeys in Stitch is the name of the quilts in this display). So cleverly done. Nepalese women I believe. www.gilliantravis.co.uk
There was a lovely display of small wall hangings. This was my favourite.
What I bought. The theme for me yesterday was blue. £5.50 each.
These beautiful pieces were from French Linens. I was very tempted to buy a quilt pack (£60) but stayed my hand. They are beautifully soft to touch and will be a joy to work with. These were 3 for £15.
I have turned this within my photos, but it still insists on being sideways.
Finally, a lovely ball of DK yarn for E/Bunny's basket, which I was knitting last night. The actual green is a little deeper.
I am glad it was yesterday we had our outing, as I am not feeling 100% today. One neck gland has been up and very tender for about 3 days now, so clearly I am fighting some sort of cold bug. My legs aren't voting for a long walk today either! A take it easy with some knitting sort of day I think.
I have no set plans yet for the new fabrics, but I couldn't resist them!! Such pretty colours and designs.
Part II of the Fair tomorrow - a few photos of stands (there were 40) and more quilt photos.
