After my usual monthly dropping off and picking up of quilts last Friday at Borderland Fabrics, Jeburgh, I headed off straight down the A68 to Weardale, I'm a Weardale Girl!
I spent the night at my Mothers and next day we headed back to the A68 and off towards the A1(M) and the York/Leeds/Harrogate area to visit my Sister and her family. We stayed a couple of nights, it was great to catch up after such a long time.
On Sunday the three of us drove back to Harrogate for The Great Northern Quilt Show.
My own quilt Subtle Differences won a 2nd Place award in the Large Wall Hanging category and a Judges Choice award from Sylvia Critcher. I was pleased that it had been hung so that both sides of the quilt could be seen without it being handled, even though the hanging frame set up was a little different, it can be done!
Liz Villalobos also entered her Double Wedding Ring Quilt, the one I quilted for her. Although it wasn't boasting any ribbons it looked wonderful hanging there, the suble colour of the green fabics is so calming for a bed quilt.
