| 'Nearly Insane Quilt', Frances Meredith |
It has been a frantically busy week, which has been exhausting, but ended on a high note. This weekend it was the2016 West Country Quilt and Textile Show held in Bristol. This is my local show and I had entered my Nearly Insane quilt into the competition. I wasn't able to get there until the last day and I had heard rumours that it had won a rosette! Being a local show I find that I don't always get to see much of it as I am always stopping to chat with quilting friends. Anyway, I finally found my quilt and was pleased to see TWO rosettes - Best Bed Quilt and Best Traditional Patchwork.

'Every Last Scrap' - Best Cushion in Competition
West Country Quilt Show 2016

Hang on - don't forget this cushion. I had this cushion top staring at me in my workroom for over year. When I saw that there was a cushion competition I thought it would be a great incentive to make it into a finished cushion. Seven days ago it was still in pieces. Yesterday, it won a Best Cushion rosette. This cushion has 338 pieces in it and is made entirely from my scraps.
Happy Days!
Congratulations, Frances. Wonderful quilt and I just love your cushion - off to cut a few scraps😊
ReplyDeleteCongratulations! It's no surprise to me because your NI quilt is absolutely gorgeous!!! Many times I visited your blog to take a look at this stunning quilt and I get inspired by it every time. One day I am going to start with it myself. ;-)
