Festival of Quilts
What an amazing experience that was!
I’m pleased to say that all my long, late nights paid off and I had a very successful show.
What a relief!
I couldn’t have done it without the support of my family though. Tony and Dad entertained the boys whilst Mum spent four days with me on my stand.
Thank you.
And thanks to everyone who came and said hello- it really was a pleasure to meet you.
Dad took this photo of me and Mum on the last day, we were tired but happy.
And now all that excitement is behind me, I have labels to sew on school uniforms (yuck!) and lots of daydreaming to do about new quilts.
It’s all good here.

It was so lovely to meet you at the show. I am about to start embroidering your dog pattern on a vintage blanket, a perfect autumnal project.

Your stand was one of my favourites! I loved your imagery, beautiful! and your moving applique template was very clever!

Congratulations on a successful show. They (it doesn’t matter what the reason for the show is) are all difficult and tiring. I have only done business shows, but getting ready is exhausting, getting there is exhausting and doing it you have geared up to a high and thenw when it is over, there is no time for a good, long nap.
But your boys have you home again and that must feel good!
I wish I could have been there!

Janet, I really love your work and enjoyed talking to you at the exhibition. You shared your expertise and gave lots of info and advice so, all in all, very inspirational.Did not meet your Mum but I’m sure she is great, how else would you have developed into the lovely person you are.
Happy quilting and thanks.
