Last week I was lucky enough to attend the Edinburgh Spring Quilt Festival, here are a few of the quilts that caught my eye, they were all beautiful but these are some of my better photographs from that day. I did ask permission to show you a few photos but it's not always possible to get a good shot when there are so many visitors.
This was mostly an exhibition rather than a judged show. Some of the exhibitors were Anja Townrow, Rebecca Collins, Judith Wilson, Lesley Brankin, Patricia Archibald, Dilys Fonks and Jan Hassard. Sorry if I missed anyone.
Of course there were also many shopping attractions too, I managed to resist fabric apart from a couple of Luna Notte FQ's to match my current piecing project. Among other things I bought quick thread sewing needles (for tying off and burying while quilting), freezer paper, marking pencils and a couple of fabric stamps for some fun projects.
Kay - thank you for the beautiful pictures ! I especially love the bed runner -- my colors.

Wow, some really beautiful quilts there. The triangle quilts intrigue me.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful quilts and many are very creative. I love that octagon.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the quilt show! Those triangle quilts reminded me of Zentangles. They were all amazing. :D
ReplyDeleteI love the lucky stars quilt. I have the pattern : )
ReplyDeleteLove seeing the quilt shows on your side of the pond. A refreshing look at the art from a different point of view.
ReplyDeleteThere was quite a diverse range of quilts by the look of things!
