UKQU BOOK CLUB 7 years, 2 months agoThanks Pam! Having canvassed interest a year ago, it just seemed such a shame not to continue with a book club. I may be less skilled at leading any discussions, but the Forum is here if anyone would like to discuss the books.

I remember doing this sort of thing for a group I belonged to at work. Never got to see the show or the speakers. Next year you will have the time of your life!

thanks for all your hard work. The FOQ is my favourite of all the quilt shows. Last year I volunteered to steward and it was great fun. I am looking forward to this year’s event.

I started going to the Festival of Quilts in 2002. I have only missed 1 year, health issues. Absolutely love the Show and have exhibited there. Keep up the good work xx

I’d love be a volunteer one year. Not this year as a friend from Australia has organised her holiday in Europe so we can visit the FOQ together. We will enjoy our day together admiring all the wonderful quilts and all your hard work….but maybe next year.

Enjoyed reading your blog and learning what goes on behind the scenes

A really clear and interesting post, Abigail, which highlights how you chose the most effective fabrics for this modern style. Choosing fabrics is something so many people struggle with!

Thanks Carolyn – the choosing of fabrics and colourways is something I love.
