Show 1101 Tom Russell

[Rita C.]

There is an online company in the UK who do beautiful buttons - and also that lovely embroidery thread that Sherry Reynolds loves at very reasonable prices. Here's a link:

I am definitely going to make a trip to the Festival of Quilts in Birmingham next year.

Hope to see you there 8)

[Norma H.]

I hope to be there too

[Rita C.]

Oh it would be great to meet up with you all - I wish it was going to be this year, but I just can't.

[Rita C.]

More time to save up & make plans! We need Lorchan as our FOQ guru :wink:

[Rita C.]

Oh I am sure she will oblige. Something to look forward to.

I have just watched this great show. We learn so many new techniques from each new show. Our own MargaritaW is on the front row right hand side (as we look)on the aisle, wearing a waistcoat with flying geese up each side, the same as in her profile photo. The gentleman next to her is her husband, who's name I think is Joe. I waved to you Margarita

Thanks, Pam. I thought that was MargaritaW.
Nice to verify it!

Does anyone know if Tom Russell has written a book about his quilting?
Rita I have just sent an e.mail to the Button Company asking if they are going to be at the FOQ this year the info on their website only goes to 2011.
I will be at the FOQ for 2 whole days on my own able to look at what I want for as long as I want "BLISS"

This was a wonderful show. I have been sewing on beads and buttons for years, but his methods are clearly superior and will improve my own application. THANKS!!! I especially liked the beautiful and inventive button sewing on his sampler.

[Rita C.]

I suspect you will be doing more than just looking at the FOQ Anne. :lol:

[wendy w.]

Well I'll be distracting her

[Terry K.]

What a great show! For me, this one was way too short! I hope Tom will be back for more segments. I loved his enthusiasm and look forward to trying his techniques because they looked easier than what I've done!

Tom Russell is very talented in quilting and with the imbellishment, Wow !
I made his quilt when I saw it on Simply Quilts, gave it to my best buddie
I called it a happy quilt.

[Jocelyn W.]
