Maureen came over at nine this morning, and we set off, not in my little car, but in Malcolm's bigger and better car (thank you, dear, for lending it to me!). We were off to the spring quilt show at Ingliston. You know the form, I can't really show you the quilts because of copyright issues, so this is just a general view of quilts based on Church Saints
but then, what is this ....... our very own Kay Bell had a display of her quilts, and when I asked her if I could put some photos on the blog, she said of course I could (thank you Kay)
this is Kay's description of the white quilt
and this is her description of the lavender quilt above it
I could quite happily have taken this one home with me
Kay makes it sound so easy!
I love the way the straight lines of the centre are softened by the applique
she doesn't mention the beautiful scalloped border!
unfortunately the lighting wasn't very good on this stunning quilt
Kay mentions her free-motion quilting
here is just a little sample of it
you now by now that when I go to the quilt show I have macaroni cheese and chips for lunch. I was delighted that they have gone back to using proper plates, after serving it up in nasty polystyrene containers
I met up with so many friends that I think that I spent more time blethering than looking at the quilts! All too soon it was time to head for home, but we stopped off at the garden centre for a cuppa, and we shared a rather tasty cherry and coconut scone
amazingly, I hardly bought anything ...... come back on Monday to see what I got! Have a good weekend, love Anne
