The Quilting Show

Travelling to the quilt show was full of anticipation for me as I wanted to see the winning quilt in my category more than anything else.  The show itself is fantastic and truly innovative: you get to see  so many creatives' work and become truly inspired.  The workmanship of some of the pieces are excellent and I know that something like that would take me years to acquire - hence that is why we get the winners because they are at the top of their game!

I hope my blog inspires you to either enter the competition or visit the festival.
