I went to the Knitting & Stitching show at Harrogate on Friday with a few friends, we had a great day. Luckily we missed the snow by 1 day, though we've only had a bit here - about 2 inches so far! In between we've had some lovely sun and blue skies but it hasn't cleared the snow. Thought I'd show you what I bought and just a few pics of some quilts on display for Elizabeth. I didn't take many pics as I'd forgotten I had my camera with me till later on. I bought some fabric, lovely threads, Brusho, Koh-i-noor waterbased dyes (the little palette), a brayer (I already have the softer one but this one will be better for using with textiles), something for a Secret Santa gift (just peeking out from under the fabric) and soy wax to have a go at Batik. The checkered fabric and the 2 underneath are a much deeper shade of green than showing here and look much better IRL. The other little pile of fabrics aren't normally colours or patterns I would go for, but I think these co-ordinate really well and will be great for dolls.
Haven't been online much due to going to the show and then on Saturday I was on for a short while earlie on but I had a migraine later and was in bed by 9.10 :-( I thought it best not to use the PC yesterday.

Aw, sorry you've not been too well, but love those quilts, and all that stash you bought. Can't wait to see how it inspires you and what you do with it all. xx
Wow those are amazing quilts ... I love the muted tones you have chosen for your one ...I am so tempted to try ...maybe next year.
I'm in awe of the quilts. We have two craft shows a year that I know of and they are both too far away to visit. I love what you showed, and am blessed that I got to see bits of the show through your eyes and camera. I hope by now the migraine is gone and you are feeling better.
I want to try some Batik soon, too. I have a bit of soy wax, and may have to try it. Thanks for sharing, and I'm off to catch up on the rest of your posts.
