Yesterday was the Detling Show. I went with friends and met up with more and had a lovely day though, inspired by friends, did more shopping than I expected but am very happy with it all. The quilts on display, selected by the organisers, were excellent too though some I had seen before.

I am a great fan of Carolyn Forster's work and always very impressed by how many quilts she can show on any one topic, here hexagons.

When I got home I completed the machining on our current "Bonnie" project and finished the hand sewing in the evening watching the last two episodes of "Innocent" recorded some time ago - excellent except a bit rushed toward the end. I would do it differently IF I did it again - fusible wadding, stiffer interfacing - but I'm glad I used nice fabrics. I try to avoid 3D but the pattern was well written and there was an explanatory photo on her site for the hard to explain bit. it's Beth Studley's project basket pattern.
deicated for a workshop next year.
