Hello Everyone,
It was such a shame that I wasn't able to be at the Festival of Quilts this year, I hope that those of you who made it had a wonderful time. Steph went this year and I asked her if she would take photo's of her favorite quilts to share with all of us that weren't able to get there. I hope you enjoy this blog as much as I have. Just to keep you posted I will be at Ally Pally Knitting and Stitching show at the beginning of October (fingers crossed), so I will hopefully catch up with loads of you there.
In the meantime I hope you get inspired by these quilts. Love Nicola X
Hi All,
This past year and a bit have been very different! But we are finally getting back to some kind of normal here in the UK. I was lucky enough to be able to get some time away to visit Birmingham for the Festival of Quilts. It was very different to previous years, but still a great few days. I came away with hundreds of photos and a ton of inspiration!
Nicola asked me to take loads of photos of the quilts for you all to view, so that you can feel like you were there too.
I have picked a few of my favourites to show you.
I hope you enjoy!

This next one is my absolute favourite!! I love butterflies and teal, so both together definitely caught my eye.

So, that's it for now. I have so many photos of beautiful quilts that there is a definite possibility of a Part 2 to this blog.
Thanks and happy creating.
Steph
