Thoroughly enjoed my visit to the Scottish Quilt Championships at Ingliston on Saturday. There were some really wonderful quilts to be seen and give one inspiration.
I went to a Flower Pounding demo. This is something I really must try. I bought a book about it years ago, now that I have seen a demo it has inspired me to have a go, though this time of year when fresh garden flowers are not in too plentiful supply seems perhaps to be the wrong
time :-0 !!
I kept the CC well in check and just bought some Masterpiece thread and a little pack for foiling which looked interesting------foil and glue, Pat Archibald was demo-ing it and it looks fun.
I am now on the last lap on the Quilt Uni course and have chosen my "falls". I am getting on with the background and am begining to construct the falls.
Tomorrow being the first of the month should see the instructions for the BQL Bag October challenge posted, having had a "sneaky peak" at the bag it looks very interesting. I have the fabric cut ready to see what to do next!
We are having one of these very cool autumnal days today, with the air coming all the way down from the north the blue patches of sky are really clear and the landscape is getting the lovely golden glows from the rapidly turning trees. As we were out with friends for lunch today the drive to the restaurant was lovely with Ben Lomond in the distance sharply etched against the sky---------makes one feel good to be alive in spite of global problems.
