Chilford Quilt Show Nov 2011
On the Sunday I took Fiona one of the owners from
Knit Wits to Chilford Vineyards for the
November Quilt Show.
I love going to Chilford because it is small enough to enjoy
but with so much to see and buy!
We arrived early and immediately went to the
Quilt Display area and as you can see we had the view
to ourselves. I have never seen it like this before
and the twinkle lights in the ceiling made it
look very magical!
I had so much inspiration and it triggered off
so many ideas!
Visit Julie's Blog over at mixed media for a
great review and more photos of the show.

Windmill Quilters Exhibition
After having a lovely morning at The Norfolk Quilters
Coffee Morning I went on to Toftwood near Dereham to
visit The Windmill Quilters Exhibition.
I love shows like this because they are so inspirational and
friendly. I met loads of quilters I knew and ladies I have just
recently met.
The displays were lovely and I stopped and shared lunch of
soup and a roll, enjoying the company and atmosphere.
The raffle quilts were really special.
Thank you to the members of
Windmill Quilters for such a lovely Exhibition.
Oh I felt so lucky to have had such a lovely day.
I then when into Dereham to Knit Wits to buy
some fabric to finish the borders on
the Lily Quilt to hang in the Classroom.

Special People
Quilt Show Stands
At the Quilts for Chernobyl there were several stands.
From the top,
Linda Turner a local textile artist,
see her work at
also see Linda's write up on the day
and spot me buying threads!!!!!!!
( I had no idea the photo was being taken!
notice how much in thought I am,
as to which colours I will need!).
Diane and myself on a book stall.
All the books had been donated for the day by Joan
who you can see in the photo directly above
having a demonstration by Sandra Beech,
our local thread and fabric dyer.
The books were part of Joan's niece's collection who
also sadly lost her life to a brain tumour.
The money raised from selling the books,
was also helping the hospice who cared for her
and £9.50 went to the exhibition event.
Thank you Joan for this, as it added another
special help to our event and we were able to help
in a small way your hospice charity.
Ida was on the Bag Stall, well with all the bags she
has been making she felt quite happy to help.
Thank you to everyone for helping make the day
a happy one.

Samphire Quilters Exhibition
On Friday the 15th I went to a trio of exhibitions in Kings Lynn.
I started off in St Nicholas Church with the
Samphire Quilters Exhibition.
Wow!
What an impact when you walked through the door.
The Quilts and Stained Glass window were
dramatic with colour.
There were quilts of all descriptions hanging all
around the church, the pews looked amazing.
They had a wonderful sales area, where I
brought some Christmas Presents!
yes, I did say Christmas! I start early!
Joan Sands a local artist was drawing and painting and
there was several stands and ladies quilting.
Joan is one of the 16 artists participating in another
exhibition at The Kings Lynn Art Centre

English Country Garden Stage Design
The Exhibition stage took some working out.I posted the prep in an older post, it looked fantastic with all
the quilts and props in place.
It started with me doing my backdrop with car aerosol paints
and layering the different pieces to paint! a picture of
"An English Country Garden".
Visitors said they found different things to look at each time they
turned round.
Thank you to everyone that helped!
Quilt Exhibition View
The Porters Barn looked amazing with all the quilts hung from the ancient beams and walls.
The stall holders had real treasures and beautiful crafted things to buy.
So much Inspiration everywhere you looked.
Thank you to all that played their part and to the visitors
who travelled from all ends of the world, some
booking their holidays to see the event.
Quilt Exhibition
These are some of the amazing ladies of Alveva quilters who helped me realise our biannual Exhibition at Porters Barn Feltwell.
Thank you,
so much to all the volunteers who made it possible.
The Exhibition had nearly 2000 visitors and raised
over a £1000 for our two charities,
Bio Detection Dogs and The Quilters Guild.

Quilts,Quilts,Quilts
I just had to show you the quilts which we photographed in my conservatory this morning.
Jenn and I have been labelling some of the many quils that are going
into Alveva Quilter's Exhibition.
As you can see there is a real mixture
and these are just some of what we call the 'tradtional'.
See more about the Exhibition and preparations in the days
to come.
