A Village Quilter

Hello all.  Hope you're keeping nice and warm in this drab damp weather. Well.  As you know I'm a fan of sampling before I make a piece.  So here is the starting point for a sample - its very yellow.   I promise to show it you when I've made some progress.  Whilst at the Festival of Quilts I subscribed to a new magazine called Love Patchwork and Quilting and issue one has now landed.  It's great to see more contemporary fabrics being used.  If you get the chance do have a look - here's a little preview. Promise to post again soon.

Hello all. Apologies for the lack of recent posts, but we've been on holiday.  So, I thought you might like to see some photos of my holiday. The beaches in Tenby were amazing.     So it was great for a paddle. We had a really lovely meal at the Ocean Restaurant . On our way back we stopped in Hereford at a really great b&b called No 21 . It was relatively close to the centre of Hereford so when we'd parked up we walked into Hereford to look at the cathedral.  I knew it would be interesting to look around, but it was even better than I expected.  If you ever get the chance, do go. As there was an ordination service taking place we started with a cuppa and a sit down in the cloister garden. We then went to the museum where the Mappa Mundi is on display.  Obviously I couldn't take any photos there. After the service we did look around the cathedral - here are some photos.  If you do go, have a look at the text...
