The Welsh Quilting and Sewing Fair Part II

 

More hexi's. A lovely combination of colours.

Combining painted fabrics (top two), so skilfully designed and executed.

Saris and head ware.  The turbans really lend themselves to this.

Some more small quilts.  I'd quite like to try my hand at picture quilts like the little scenery one on the left.

This is one of the fabulous old quilts from the Quilt Association's stand.  They are based at Llanidloes, and I joined and volunteered when I first moved here, but it was a bit far to go weekly.  I like the 9 patch in the centre of the log cabin surround.  I've not seen that before.

I loved this combination of quilting and red work stitching.

This was one of two splendid Welsh dragons - I meant to take a photo of the other, but got distracted.

If you go to Facebook and look up The Welsh Quilting and Sewing Fair there are lots of photos of stands and quilts there.

I would like to put my own design on this little cushion.  My house, Rosie and 4 cats!!

This was Elmhirst Fabrics where I bought the little bird pictures.

Finally, Fine French Linen where I bought 3 fat 1/4s.  I wish I had bought more now to make something bigger, but may treat myself for my birthday.

I am missing my family already (and Rosie said "Miss you grandma" when we were getting her in her car seat, which breaks my heart!) and I was worrying about health issues last night.  I may take myself out to the Elan Valley today for some fresh air and to see the recent rain levels pouring over the reservoir wall.  It is currently dry with a little sunshine.  Watch this space.
