Farnham Maltings

I went with friends to Farnham Maltings where quilt shops sell off off their surplus fabrics and products. I needed more fabrics for Isla's quilts as my choices are now being constricted by the fact I can't cut background squares or even hearts out of some of the pieces I have left. Also to get sufficient contrast I needed some fabrics with coloured dots on white backgrounds. One of my friends bought some and told me just which stall to go to so I'm very happy.
As part of the day local groups display their quilts and there was a one woman show by Diana Taylor. Her room just glowed.

Farnham Maltings

I went to Farnham Maltings today for a one day annual event where quilt shops sell their sale fabrics downstairs and local quilt groups mount exhibitions and demonstrations upstairs. Downstairs was packed and I left most of my shopping till later in the day. Upstairs was busy but I could enjoy the quilts, watch the demonstrations and purchase some useful handouts.

piano cover

 I especially admired the piano cover made by Farnham quilters - quite beautiful and the longarm quilting by Brigitte Gillespie includes treble clef motifs. The piano is in a cafe area and throughfare so the cover will protect the polished surface from finger smudges and objects placed on top and prevent people fingering the lid!
