I was asked yesterday what I was going
to write in my blog this week and I rightly replied that I hadn’t a clue! I
have pondered in past blogs as to whether my blog keeps me sewing or my sewing
keeps me blogging. All I know is that when it gets to the weekend, I start to
panic and scout around for something that might be of interest to my many readers,
particularly when I am between projects.
This was the week of the Quilters’
Guild Region 13 exhibition in Bangor Cathedral and here is the quilt that I
exhibited. I must say that it was in a lovely position, at the top of the
stairs on the way out …. I actually missed it on the way in!
The quilts were hung along the sides of
the cathedral so as not to impede with the main body and function of the
church. Identical telescopic stands were used which made the exhibition look very
professional I thought. Well done to those concerned!

There was also a quilt exhibition at
Llanfairfechan in aid of Cancer research. I was talking so much to one of the
organisers that I forgot to take any pictures!! Can’t believe it!
Back at Planet Fronks, I got himself to
hang my Delectable Mountain quilt. We live in converted farm buildings with 20”
thick walls and small windows so not a lot of light gets into the room. I have
to coax him to drill holes in these walls but he does as he’s told … mostly! We
can now enjoy this quilt when we wake up in the mornings. Good job I don’t
suffer from migraines!
TIP: He usually hangs my wall quilts this
way: A thin baton is screwed into the wall as a permanent fixture. Another such
baton is put through the sleeve on the back of the quilt and then screwed onto
the permanent baton.
There are more of my home-made features
in the room. Curtain tie-backs were made from garden twine, fabric hearts and
tin hearts (cheap at Hobbycraft!).
My next project for this room will be
to make a cover for a tissue box from fabric and card. Join me next week to
find out how to do it.
