...wearing divine garlands and apparel...
So now it is really hot, and I have just returned from the quilt show at Sandown, (where it was really hot). My compatriots in this venture were George's Mother, and her neighbour.
Naturally I bought loads more Stuff, (see under "stuff"), including yet more bag handles, when in fact I am pretty sure I have never actually made a bag. But soon that will be resolved. I shall make a bag. Or two bags. Or as many bags as I have handles.
I bought some pretty 1950's style fabrikkk (see under "Miss Soutar" pronounced ssootaah); however, I remain unsure as to whether to make myself a pretty summer frock, or cover the sofa with it.
I also bought a book - Erika Knight's "New Knits: 20 knitting projects
with a contemporary twist" - on the basis that there were at least 3 things
in it I wanted to knit, and which I am not going to reveal here. However
I now know the solution for Alison to make over her Pottery Barn living
room furniture; start knitting now, sister! [Good Advice].

A well as an opportunity to spend money, this show exhibited entries to the National Quilt Championships. Here are some of the quilts that I liked; I would say they are not necessarily the best quilts or the winners - they are ones I would like to own or copy. [The middle row shows a detail of the quilt above it]. |
