An Early International Quilting Day
Yesterday was the International Quilting Day event run by Pauline's Patchworks of Dorchester at the Memorial Hall in Sturminster Marshall. It is a week earlier than the official date of 17 March, but due to the hall being booked next week, it took place Friday and yesterday. We were kept quite busy with a general knowledge quiz, a big workshop session making a felt flower and bag, lunch and demonstrations. Pauline and Sarah had also bought their shop and teacher Stevie demonstrated photo editing software and there was another trader with beads. It was all well organised and ran like clockwork. It was an enjoyable day to catch up with people that I know as well.

Luckily I still had some of the beads from the Three Corner Workshop day in my workbox to add to the middle of the flower.

Made just on Friday night, it's my interpretation of Clemetis Montana which is an early flowering variety. There weren't many entries, just 6 and to my surprise I won second prize with............. some fabric! A lovely roll of 6 fat quarters all in Spring like colours. As you can see it was too nice to unwrap, but I did!
I could not resist the urge to buy one fat quarter of fabric too, it had welly boots, not sure what I'm going to use that for but it looks good.
I'm going to celebrate International Quilting Day again next week with a small group of friends just having a gathering to sew.
