I had such a lovely time on Sunday last at the Malvern
Spring Quilt Show (Malvern Showground). It was a beautiful sunny day and I got
there just before the doors opened, so managed to spend at least the first few
minutes without being pushed and shoved – it’s amazing how older respectable
looking ladies can dig with their elbows and stand firm, refusing to allow you
to just squeeze in next to them!!! Grrr
It was fine though, I had a great day browsing around many
well known fabric shops, including my favourite, ‘White Cottage Country Crafts’
– it’s relatively local to me and I feel very lucky, because I really love
Jackie’s colour palette, it’s so meee!! Whenever I go there, I just want to go
around stroking fabric LOL.
Anyway, you don’t want to listen to me waxing
lyrical, you want to see what I bought don’t you!!
This is everything together, including cotton fabric, wools and gorgeous dupion silk
'Primitive Gatherings' Wool Flannel …… yum!
This luverrrley bundle of fabrics from the White Cottage Country
Crafts, with a Country bag pattern
And some other bits & pieces!
Some several hours later, I strolled back out into the
sunshine, bought myself a spot of lunch (including cake – well why not!) and
sat and enjoyed the beautiful view of the Malvern Hills - sorry, I should have
taken a piccie or two, but was well chilled out by then. And so with legs dropping
off and a nearly empty purse, I made my way home.
A lovely day!

ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful day! I am sure I would have loved it too. x
ReplyDeleteWow, these are beautiful!
ReplyDeleteSo pleased you had fun at Malvern Julia - I went on the Friday and had The Best Day! Just a great show, not too big and overwhelming (which is how I felt last year at the FOQ - just too much and too expensive) - will definitely make Malvern my annual quilt show trip from now on. Love your goodies - cannot wait to see what you make with them! x
