Chichester Area Day

 For the second year running we went to the Quilters' Guild Region 2 Area Day in Chichester, staying in a nice holiday rental.

I enjoyed looking at the quilts on display and joining a couple of demonstrations, folded patchwork with Suzanne Boulter who had zillions of examples and with our new very lively and keen Regional Organiser, Rachel D'Ambrosi who has done an amazing amount of EPP with leave in nonwoven templates.

More folded patchwork, a contrast

In addition there talks by Sarah Ashford on the Rajah quilt and very interesting to me Trish Grammar on Shweshwe fabrics. I have made a couple of quilts from indigo blue ones.
