Festival of Quilts is coming around quickly!

This is me at the show last year, excited to find a fabric that was on my Stash Hub wishlist (making it a totally legal purchase!).

Despite absolutely loving the fabric, I haven’t got round to sewing it until now. Deciding I want to wear it to the show has given me the push I needed to finally cut it out. I’m making the Know Me 2016. I haven’t made this pattern before, so wish me luck!

I had such a good time at the Festival of Quilts. Didn’t manage to meet up with many people though - between the quilt gallery and all the stands, it’s an absolutely massive show which makes it hard to bump into people. Came away with lots of inspiration though, and supplies for a few upcoming projects…
