On Saturday I went to a local quilt show with DD. The show was the second "Quilts in the Wolds" show organised by Lindsey Patchworkers. This is a hanging that a group of members created for Lincolnshire Wolds Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, it shows many of the attractions of the region.
DD and I were both focussed on water/seascape related projects, and even choose the same piece as our "visitors' choice". Our photographs are mainly along this theme. As ever, if you are in a picture and would rather not be or if you object to my sharing the work you exhibited please email me and I will remove it immediately.
These miniature seascapes are by Sandra Goldsbrough:
This usual perspective on Stonehaven Harbour by Pat Cave
was inspired by a workshop with Janet Browne:
This unusual presentation, of the wonderfully named Barefoot Beach near Naples in Florida,
was stitched by Gill Lewis. It was difficult to take a photograph but the detail in the work
was lovely, it was as if it was possible to walk right onto the beach.
There were two traders, a sales table, a raffle and a tombola. All the prizes in the tombola were "inspiration bags", gorgeous colour co-ordinated collections of fabric, thread, beads, ribbon etc. Sara and I had several goes on the tombola and came away with three bags of inspiration between us. Oh, and there was cake :-) Well done Lindsey Patchworkers, a great exhibition and DD bought loads of fabric and is really inspired to get stitching again now that she has finished studying for a couple of months. For more pictures have a look at the report from
Louth Eye (and interestingly, no pictures of seascapes!) Just a couple of looking and buying pictures to finish:
