Quilt Exhibition (image heavy)

Sunday just past myself & Franney headed off to Sevenoaks to peruse the quilt exhibition that is put together by Puddleducks quilt shop & Quercus quilt group.  The lovely thing about exhibitions is you get to see so many quilts of all shapes, sizes, colours & quite often the same quilt in different fabrics which is always nice for an instant comparison.

Here are some of the quilts that I really enjoyed viewing.

I'll share more later.
Happy stitching :)

Charming :)

Yesterday myself & friend Franney took a trip to a lovely little quilting shop called Puddleducks in Sevenoaks, Kent.  I think the phrase "small but perfectly formed" is the best way to describe the shop.  It's quite literally wall to wall fabrics, accessories & notions.

I went along with a little cash & was fully prepared to make a purchase.  It took me a while to take it all in as everywhere you looked there were more bolts & ranges of lovely fabrics that were shouting "buy me... buy me".  It wasn't until Franney started showing me the lovely Layer Cakes that I saw something I really liked the look of.  A Moda range called Sophie by Chez Moi.  I quickly sifted through the Charm Packs to see if there was one but alas, no charm pack.  After deciding not to purchase anything Franney asked if they had an Sophie charm packs & after crawling under the table the lady produced not one, not even two but a pack of 10 charm packs.  Franney grabbed one.... I grabbed another one.  I was thinking of getting a nice red to pair with it but then thought the red would be a little too bright/dark & totally detract from the lovely range so instead I plumped for a lovely summery marble yellow.

I look forward to making a quilt with these :)

 For now though, it's on the top of my charm pack pile.... ooops! :)

Happy stitching :)
