EDINBURGH QUILT SHOW 2011 (sept)

Ok , Apologies for having to split this post into two parts.
Enjoy the rest of the show.

I hoped you enjoyed this selection of quilts from the show.  There were a lot of quilts there and I know I didn't take photos of them all.   I got everything I wanted - King Tut thread, 505 basting spray , couple of scrap bags ( I love scrap bags), lots of fabric , beads, selection of magazines and my favourite purchase was a fat Quarter pack of Robert Kaufman's Valley of the Kings range. Have to say they were NOT cheap - but they are so lovely.  I adore those fabrics and have been eyeing them up online for a while now.   I feel a major project coming on !!

Also at this show, I had a go on a long arm quilting machine for the very first time.  It was so strange to move the machine and not the fabric - kinda the opposite of what I have been doing but I loved it.   I would love a long arm - it's going to take me a long time to save for one of them  - they cost £4000 !  Oh well I can dream!
Until the next time
happy stitching.

EDINBURGH QUILT SHOW 2011 (sept)

Today I went to the big quilt show at the Royal Highland Showground in Edinburgh.  It is held twice a year - February and September.

Needless to say I had a great time and came home with an empty purse and a bulging bag!!!!
I will shut up now and show you some of the quilts that were on display.

                                          Loved all the colours in this one.

This was a stunning quilt, beautifully pieced and quilted by hand.

Close up of previous quilt.

             That is  the end of part 1 - blogger won't let me upload any more photos in this post so I will do a part 2  .
