Festival of Quilts 2013 Part 1
I've put Part 1 because I'm optimistic that I'll get to Part 2 at some point. It seems like only yesterday that we were packing up the five vans from the Festival of Quilts 2013. By the time I'd collected the fourth one from the car park on Sunday evening (no short walk at the NEC and I felt like I'd done more than my share of exercise already...) the man on the gate must have felt like he was on Groundhog Day as he said with some doubt in his voice... "You....again?"
With lots of help we managed to get the content of all the stands into the vans and thankfully it all fitted!
So, here are a few photos from the show...more to follow. Soon!
