Festival of Quilts, England 7-10 August 2014 Are you coming?

[Charae H.]

You all sound like you had such a wonderful time! It's very easy to pick up on the excitement. The quilts and people pics you have posted are terrific! Thanks so much for sharing~

[Hannelore N.]

I have tried to report Lorna to the Quilt Police, but I couldn't find them. This must be a quilt police free zone!

[Nancy R.]

Of course, now we have publicly posted pictures showing her crimes!

[Hannelore N.]

What'll be the punishment for Lorna?? Will confiscation of 30% of her stash be enough? Or should it be 2 months without a sewing machine? Personally, I think she should have to serve her sentence at La Veta.

[Catherine S.]

Lorchen, what a wonderful punishment(?)! :lol: I am sure she would go peacefully to her punishment. If not, maybe one of us should escort her there and keep watch that she completes her sentence. What fun that would be!!! :lol: :lol: :lol:

[wendy w.]

Ha ha you're all nuts :lol:

[Rita C.]

:lol: :lol: :lol:

[Hannelore N.]

And she would have to sing for several hours every day whilst you watch her, Cathy!

[Hannelore N.]

Wendy, we are definitely not nut..... just a wee bit bonkers, but only on days that end in a 'y'.

[wendy w.]

I want to see you all again this week. Oh well still lots of fun on here

[Rita C.]

Look who we bumped into at our hotel - Lea McComas. She didn't know about the TQS meet and great so came along the following day to meet everybody and joined us for the TQS dinner as well. Lea is going to be a featured guest on a TQS show to be recorded in the Autumn. Maybe she will come back to Birmingham and teach next year? I would definitely go back for that!

2nd Place in the pictorial quilt category.
When I grow up I want to be able to make quilts like this.

And now for something completely different:

A very elegant pooch!

And this outfit left all the others in the shade :wink: !

[Rita C.]

There were exquisite miniatures:

'Bridal Bouquets' by Kumiko Frydl, Texas

A bag that should be mine!

'Atelier' by Carmen Aldeamil Arevalo, Spain

No resting on your laurels here - but who wouldn't want to on this lovely bench?

'Take a Break' by Ulrike Tillmanns, UK

[Susan W.]

Loving the trip to Birmingham girls keep the photographs coming wish I had been there

[wendy w.]

I thought that bench would look great in my chicken run.

And Ineke van Unan's quilts were really exciting

[Catherine S.]

What great pictures. Thank you all! And thanks for letting us share in your adventures.
