Maggi and I had a great day at the Festival of Quilts on Saturday - the time flew by and I wondered if I would get to see everything, but we did really well and even managed to meet up with Julie and Angela for lunch and a natter. If you visit Julie's and Maggi's blog you'll see a selection of beautiful quilts.........here are some of my favourites: Detail from 'Drawn by the Sea' - Sarah-Jane Dixon 'Graceful Dance' - Janneke de Vries-Bodzinga, the winner of the pictorial quilts section, Incredibly beautiful.....click for a close-up.

A little fabric and paper collage (3" across) made from some scraps provided by Cas Holmes (a stained teabag, some pretty fabric and a piece of old hand embroidery) along with a few things of my own. Not my usual colour scheme is it? Ah well....back to the purple, lime and turquoise tomorrow ;-)
