Busy August


Phew - Maggie Grey talk at Sutton Coldfield last week (fun!) and a chance to catch up with Julia Green. Off to Festival of Quilts on Thursday - quieter than previous years, but loads to see and admire. I was delighted to meet Chris Gray and husband Alan - lovely varied work and fab home-dyed threads, which I couldn't resist! It's so lovely to actually meet someone whose blog you've been faithfully following.
Today I took myself off to Solihull. Picked up some nice silk remnants at John Lewis. In the stash they go. Had to pop into a gorgeous treasure-trove of a shop - Toga and Loll. Look at their website - full of exotic, quirky, vintage and just lovely things. Always worth a visit to see what's new in.
Finally - this one's for you Chris. Remember I mentioned the barbed wire I had to make ?????

I'm glad to see you getting back into action!

I certainly found FOQ inspiring...and it looks like you did too :-)

Hopefully we can meet up again sometime soon
