Yep you heard it right,
I have entered, my first ever quilt show!
I feel quite insane now the Festival of Quilts is upon us.
I just wanted to give anyone visiting the heads up.
I havent entered for any sort of fame,
I've entered as a life goal,
and because I'd like to share this quilt with
my friends and followers.
Please be kind....it is not one of those perfectly machined quilts
Its 100% handsewn and hand quilted.
The Exhibition runs from 11th to the 14th of August
at the Birmingham NEC UK
I will be attending on Sunday afternoon.
Thanks again for stopping by

Stunning! I hope you win an award.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful! I can see you worked very hard on this. I hope to become this skilled some day.
ReplyDeleteBest of luck in the show! Looks beautiful hanging in the garden!
ReplyDeleteWow! This is amazing, well done...a quilt to be shown, that's for sure! :) xxx
ReplyDeleteWow, it's so very beautiful... It's sings of a very talanted woman, best of luck.
ReplyDeletebrilliant! Look forward to seeing at FoQ!
ReplyDeleteLove it! Personally I find the slightly wonky imperfect quilts to have more soul than pure perfection. And I love the use of the tablecloth for a backing....that is a tablecloth yeah? Good luck and embrace the hanging of a quilt not the judgey bit. If you love it that is all that matters.
ReplyDeleteClare! This is so lovely!! I can't even imagine how many hours the piecing took. Beautifully done. Bravo!!

Wow, that is amazing! An incredible amount of work involved. Good luck, and have fun at the show.
ReplyDeleteYour quilt is gorgeous and I love the idea of using a vintage tablecloth (?) for the backing!
ReplyDeleteI adore your work and wish I was half as talented and consistent with my sewing.
It's stunning! I can't wait to see it 😁 xx
ReplyDeleteYour quilt is incredible! Can you tell me please what the pattern is, did you design it?
ReplyDeletegood luck. great looking quilt.
ReplyDeleteI wish I could come and see this in person - it's stunning. much more interesting than
ReplyDelete"one of those perfectly machined quilts"
That looks amazing, congratulations !!
ReplyDeleteI will get a chance to see it on Saturday. Looking forward to a closer inspection. It deserves a wider audience.
ReplyDeleteIt is a beautiful quilt and now people can see it and appreciate it in person! It looks like a kaleidoscope image to me - just beautiful. And in my mind there is nothing so charming as hand quilting!
ReplyDeleteOh it's lovely!!
ReplyDeleteIt's marvelous! I admire your decision to enter the quilt show. I too have entering a quilt in a quilt show on my bucket list. I haven't done it yet; too intimidated by those long arm machine-quilted ones. I would like to see quilt shows have two categories so our work in hand-piecing and hand-quilting could be recognized for its worth. I love the meditative feeling of EPP stitching. Currently working on LaPassacaglia. Love your Carousel! Marsha from QuilterinMotion.net
ReplyDeleteClare, this is just amazing! The most beautiful quilt and I can't imagine you have pieced and of course quilted it all by hand! Congratulations for your quilt show entry! Wish I could come to see this live! x Teje
