Open Day


Sale items



Yesterday I went with two friends to Marion Drake's Open Day. We had a lovely morning. First a foray into the conservatory where the sale items were displayed. The blue and white quilt you see has been taken from its corner to the sofa and was my purchase. It has tiny close quilting and is an English quilt. Later as more people wanted to buy it Marion put it safely in a bag.
Her personal quilts were everywhere over doors, on bannister rails, draped over doors, stacked on shelves and tops of cupboards; christening frocks hung on pegs over the bath. A visual feast.

Her sewing building was in the garden and her stash and projects had a strongly reproduction style.
