Sandown 2008
30/06/2008 by Sue.
This was the first time for a few years that I have been able to go to Sandown (we are usually on our annual pilgrimage to Scotland). Anyway Alison and I went on the Sunday, chauffeured there and back as the two old crocks have both had recent surgery and find driving difficult. It was a lovely day. Lunch outside on the stands with marvellous views all the way to Canary Wharf, Wembley and Heathrow.
So what about the show? It was quiet!! Great for visitors as we could see all the quilts easily and lots of room to get to the stalls. Not so good for the stallholders of course with so few customers. There were lots of quilts of a great variety, journal, art, crazy, challenge and traditional. Some I liked enough to photograph, many others did not appeal at all but as I did not enter anything I cannot criticise. I do fear that if we don’t support it though Sandown may be finished which will be a great shame as it is so local.

How about entering the Pearls, Pearls, Pearls competition by the Quilts Guild? closing date for entry is 1st march 09 so there is loads of time, not sure what the prize is.

This is what I have done with some of my shibori fabric from the other weekend, I have mixed it with some denim and will cover it with big stitch, hopefully to go into our exhibition in November.
