I am hung! We went to Holyhead to
the Ucheldre centre on Tuesday with a car full of quilts and hangings, and 4
hours later, my exhibition was hung. I then walked the length of the breakwater
to the light house at the end to say hello to my Mam (some of her ashes had
been scattered there). We visited cousins where we had a lovely meal before
returning to the centre to do the opening address for the resident quilting
group who also have an exhibition of their work. Thankfully, it was a lovely
day all round because, as you may know, it has been the focus of my endeavours
for the last month or so. For my evening address, I decided to do an alphabet
of quilts, trying to find a quilt or hanging to represent each letter. The
difficult ones were X, Y and Z! For X, I showed an extraordinary quilt, the one
I would save if the house was on fire! For Y (and I have no affection at all
for yoyos!) I used the word yardage and mentioned the no-fail formula for
buying fabric: work out how much you want, double it and add a yard. For Z, I
said they could finish their zeds as it was all over! Here are some of my
quilts on display.
