A few FOQ highlights

There were lots of great textiles to view at the Festival of Quilts. Here's a picture of Laura Kemshall's stunning entry (from Linda K's blog). It doesn't show up in this photo but it incorporated repeated quilted text of the simple words 'Don't Go' which I found very moving - says so much about the human condition doesn't it?

Also of note was the display of work by C June Barnes and Janice Gunner - this included some fantastic 3D artworks that are just delicious -  photos of this can be found here, again on Linda's blog which she has published with their permission. You can see more of June's work here. I love the fantastic textures she achieves and was really tempted (but restrained myself, regrettably) to buy her new book which you can read more about here - definitely one for the wish list though!

Really looking forward to catching up with the rest of the gang on Thursday :) It'll be great to get stitching again too - barely done any last few weeks - have you??
