I went to the Festival of Quilts 2008 and was bitten with the quilting bug! There were loads of visitors (mostly ladies of a certain age), many had travelled from other parts of Europe. I came away fizzling with ideas (plus lots of fabric, of course!). Got the Jelly Roll Quilts book from the authors in person at their lovely stand - plus a neat triangular ruler that allows you to cut 2-inch triangles from a 2.5-inch jelly roll. I did a couple of workshops on the log cabin technique, one using foundation piecing. Chose a fabulous mauve coloured "Zen II" charm roll set and pattern from the lovely lady from Ireland at the Fennel Shed stand, which was a great way to do my "second quilt"! More on that later.
