I have to say that it may have been a small quilt show compared to the likes of The NEC but it was absolutely fantastic and I wish now that I had taken a camera to take photos of some of the awesome quilts in both the competition and on the stalls. If I had a pound for every time I said 'oh how beautiful' I could pretty much have bought up everything there was to buy.
Ruby loved it and didn't want to leave when it was time to go home and she already wants to know if she can come next year. Her joy in everything she saw really made the day very special for me and I am so glad she didn't get bored at all.
Her special task was to find Ganma beautiful Christmas fabric and the girl did very good indeed.
So here we go with the pics.........
 |
| Anything to do with Christmas is a must...lol. |
 |
| I've been wanting the Quilt As You Go book for a while and I would rather like to make a house quilt so these just had to come home with me. |
 |
| I love Jenny Doan and am considering a subscription to this magazine. |
 |
| Ruby's little stash....we are going to make her a pin cushion and a little pouch for her scissors with some of this when she comes for her next sleepover. |
 |
| Traditional Christmas fabric to go with others already in my stash. |
 |
| Moda Merrily....which I hope will go with the Winterlude layer cake I already have but if not ther is a metre of each which would make a good sized quilt on it's own. |
 |
| Funky Christmas fabric to make some small gift bags. |
 |
| This was a very special surprise purchase by DD. Michael Miller-Fairy Frost which really needs to be seen in real life. She was willing to buy me a half metre of every colour there but to be honest some were not really my kind of colours......purples, copper etc. |
 |
| General stash. The post cartale fabric will probably become a bag. |
 |
| My most favourite colour combination and will most likely become a quilt for me 😁 |
 |
| 12 fat quarters....haven't a clue what I am going to do with it...lol. |
Boring purchases which don't really need a picture....3 metres of 120" wide 80/20 batting, four packets of machine needles and a fabric glue pen plus a pack of refills.
I love everything and can't wait to start working with it all.
One of the best things for me was the fact that once we had had enough we just nipped up the road to drop Ruby home and then ten minutes and we were home and soon tucking in to a gorgeous Sunday lunch cooked by Andy.
......and to end the day....an emergency call out from The Doodle House where Marlowe had decided it would be great fun to stuff raisins up her nose and DDIL was worried she may have to take her to A&E. By the time we got there the raisins had broken down and made their escape back round into her mouth so crisis averted. She loved having me look up her nose with a torch so I hope to gawd she doesn't do it again for the sheer fun of it.....the little scallywag.
I expect you are all thoroughly bored now so I will finish up and go and leave you in peace.
Have a lovely day.
