Yesterday was spent happily at the Spring Quilt Festival at Ingleston near Eddinburgh. I, of course, spent way too much, and came home happily clutching new fabric and a delicious selection of threads. The quilts on display were, as usual, wonderful . I drooled over the section of quilts by Roy Dickinson "Engineering Quilts" they were just awe inspiring....."The Venetian" in particular was amazing. Pat Archibald's quilts were, as usual, so interesting and enjoyable.
Because of the weather, I rather suspect the attendance on Saturday was down but it did give those who were there room to see the quilts and the traders stands without too much of a squash.
I enjoyed two demos workshops, one from Maggie Davies on the use of Abaca paper and that was most interesting and something I must try. The second was a workshop by Claire Tinsley which was fun, I will also hear her at Paisley Patchers tomorrow night ( Monday) and am also attending a full day workshop with her on Tuesday........really looking forward to that!
Still the winter goes on in this neck of the woods..........I just wonder if spring will ever arrive, snow still lying on the ground and falling slightly as I type and a bitter wind blowing today.......ugh!!
