Festival of Quilts 2012
The 2012 programme for Festival of Quilts is now available to preview - tho you can't actually book tickets until March. Festival of Quilts (or FOQ as I fondly call it!!) is now the largest and most vibrant quilt exhibition outside the USA (some say anywhere), and this year they will be celebrating the 10th anniversary of this event at the National Exhibition Centre, Birmingham, this August. Whether or not you have ever made a quilt, this festival is a must for anyone with an interest in textile arts. Take a sketchbook, camera, brown paper bag (to blow into when the excitement gets too much!!) and a second mortgage for all the wondrous materials/kit/gadgets/books available to buy.

Should I apply for a loan or take out a mortgage before we go to the Festival of Quilts? Hmmmnnn . . . Of course then I'd need to extend the hobby room to store everything I purchase.
ReplyDeletePerhaps I'll just stick to your suggested list, including paper bag.
