I found the Festival of Quilts quite overwhelming, just so much stuff. I was fortunate because I had an Exhibitor's pass so was able to get inside early and have a wander. I take my hat off to the traders, it really is a marathon for them, they must go into training for the selling season.
I didn't really have time to study all the quilts but some did catch attention as I passed by without my camera, so I I am having to depend on friends. Here is one I liked -
It is called "Double Delight" and was made by Pauline Law Kloof of South Africa. It is woollen, knitted with some crochet and inspired by Gees Bend quilts. I love the bright colours, especially in wool which saves it from being garish. It didn't get a prize of course, when do quilts that I like get prizes? That will be the day!
I enjoyed meeting some of you who read this blog. I tried to persuade those of you who don't to leave a comment. Please leave comments, it's such an encouragement to the blogger!
