I decided I would go to the Quilt Show at Malvern today, and so of course, I had a rotten night's sleep and was awake half the night. I wasn't exactly rushing out the door this morning and got there just before mid-day. I have to say, normally there are some really WOW quilts there, but this time those seemed to be a minority sector. Sashiko Samples - nah, not for me. Threads That Bind Me - some interesting entries, but again, not my thing, nor was ScrapYard. My mind just doesn't work like that! Some nice quilts but I really don't like to see everything long-arm machine quilted. I sound a right old misery don't I? Here's the link to the Show anyway and here are some of the photos I took.
Gosh, couldn't have made this - made me feel quite dizzy! As did the one below. Both cleverly done though.
A HUGE Sashiko sampler quilt.
These were pretty and must have taken a lot of planning as well as sewing. The giant-ness of the hexi's below made me smile.
Below: Entries for the Mills category. One lady had thought outside the box and done a still life with a big Pepperpot :) I really liked the one on the left here.
Did I buy much? Did I blow the budget? You'll have to wait until tomorrow to find out . . . Hope you enjoyed the wander round with me. I don't think I went last year, and the mixture of stalls had changed. No-one selling paper piecing shapes, or some of the more unusual stands I remember, esp. one specializing in different textured felts; very few books; instead several stands selling Doc Martins, handbags, and clothing . . . why? It's a QUILT show. Plus a chap outside had a marquee and was selling various wicker baskets.
