Market Bosworth Festival 2008

Thought you might like to see a few photos of the festival this last weekend. So a few cute animals to start with - llamas and the shire horses plus cart - they did slow the traffic up alot but they looked great.
More quilts...

And below is our sales table - bursting with cushions...

our cushion raffle...

and more quilts...

And us saying goodbye to one of our members - in fact he was our token male quilter LOL and we're really going to miss him.

We had a lot of interest in our sewing Saturdays we've got booked for September and October - neither of which I can make as I'm at the Bramble Patch. And another thing that was mentioned was a website for our group. Have any of you got any ideas about this? Any comments about what you think works or doesn't work would be very helpful.

Off to Bramble Patch again this weekend and hopefully an exhibition - I'll tell you all about if next weekend.

You may have wondered where I've been - well we've had a week away in Lyme Regis at a very cute cottage - 'Wren Cottage'. It was on the little side (2 up and 2 down) - but what else do you need really. It was very near to the sea front and the centre of Lyme Regis. I fell in love with this shop Susie Cole . It was beautiful inside - organised by colour theme. It was a great shabby chic shop. I loved it - so many beautiful things. And Ginger Beer was full of great things for living outside; bug houses, weather stations, plant signs, bags and lots and lots of other lovely things. There were also some great galleries - Blue Lias was one I really loved. A great variety of items and all a good range of prices so anyone could buy something. And you can't go to Lyme Regis without going fossil hunting.... DH did have to be rather patient as I'm a but of a wuss on slippy surfaces - but we did get across the beach (even with one very wet foot). So here are som...

Finished!!!

As you can see I did have some 'help' with my 'Sunburst' quilt. Fluff decided one evening that it was hers and no-one else was going to get near it. As you can see it's done - and I feel a bit sad because I thought it would take longer and I've got nothing to hand quilt. But unlike the last HUGE one this one measure approximately 61 x 50 inches. It was machine pieced and hand quilted in the ditch with YLI variegated thread - called Sunset... I'm really pleased with how it's turned out. Thanks to all of you for the good wishes you sent for both my birthday and anniversary. DH is now very keen to read any comments on the blog as he seems to think they're all going to be about him. LOL . Thanks

Dennis...

...well unfortunately Dennis died last month. Although we were very upset at the time we realise he had a very happy long life (18 years) and he spent his last day in the garden sunning himself . Everyone who came to the house met him - whether they wanted to or not; he was very friendly . So here are a last few photos of him looking like the fat happy orange cat that he was...
