one of sara's iconic pieces of work

sara talking to liz nally after the talk

we were very lucky to have sara impey speaking to the group at our march meeting. everyone was enthralled by the story of her working practice and, indeed, by the amazing examples that she brought along to show us. I just love the piece at the top with all the hanging threads-wish I had thought of that!

Quilters Guild Regional Day in the Lake District

just got back from a weekend in the lake district. Regional day with the quilters guild in Braithwaite followed by a workshop day at just sew in penrith and a day walking in the spring sunshine around ambleside and grassmere, yes we really did see a host of golden daffodils!

Quilters Guild Regional Weekend in Frodsham (and a visit to Chester)

 I had a really good weekend with the 'girls' from Quilters Guild Region 13 at Frodsham in Cheshire, two workshop days and the regional day on Saturday. it was great to see so many familiar faces and meet many new friends. here are some of the girls at the marvellous marble workshop-work in progress- I look forward to seeing the finished pieces! I also had time to make a lightening trip into Chester, the cathedral has loads of little gems including this iconic sculpture in the garden and some amazing stained glass.

Quilters Guild Regional Day in Durham

I managed to fit in a flying visit to durham cathedral then regional day and workshop in durham followed by another workshop day in stannington - its a long drive though! Now going the other way just about to leave for a regional weekend in Cheshire.
