Festival of Quilts, Birmingham, August 2010

[ANN W.]

Thanks Amo, pretty cream crackered about covers it . Worth it of course. I was teaching today, fortunately nothing too strenuous, but I could have done with a lie-in. The hot bath last night did help with the aches and pains, if you're not used to standing all day, it's a shock to the system :shock: Must be getting old :| :?

Quilters don't get old, just a little frayed aroung the edges.

Have fun actually seeing the show!

Any one going on Sunday?

I'm back home after having had a super time at FoQ. I managed to meet up with several TQS members, but only made it to the 1pm meeting point a couple of times because I was in workshops at the time. It was great to spent a whole day in the same workshop with Nicole who had come all the way from Belgium. We both have a very attractive project to finish off now. The quilts (main show and indivudual galleries) were very impressive, and I easily could have spend a fortune shopping, especially with the retailers from other countries that are normally not so eaily available to us. And I must admit I rather like handling fabric before buying it.

By the way: Ali and the crew of 'hanging volunteers' did an excellent job!
