What fun fabric and such an innovative use for them! Visiting relatives in Hannover in May, might need to make them a London based present as a memory of a great visit to London last year.

Wonderful to learn more about the organisation of the show. Thanks for getting the interview Sylvia.

Great interview !! And this year, i can get to FOQ and can’t wait

Interesting ‘behind the scenes’ information, I was there at the beginning and most years after. So good to have our own F of Q’s in the UK.

Interesting to hear a bit about the work behind the scene. Looking forward to another great show!

Really interesting to hear what goes on behind the scenes.

Thankyou that was so interesting. Thankyou for sharing

Great to read about all the work that goes on thank you

Fantastic interview thanks! Can’t wait for this year’s festival

My quilting group had a speaker who was a Volunteer at Festival of Quilts.
It was fascinating all the behind the scenes work that goes into making this a fantastic show for us.
I have a quilting friend in Australia who comes over for it Every Year!

Great Interview!

Great beh8nd the screams look thank you for everyone that helps, I Would love to go this year, not been for several years x

Such an interesting read for one of the highlights of my year.

Got to be in it to win it, second time lucky? (Fingers and toes crossed. Lol!)

Much to my shame, I have thought very little about the hard work in producing the show. I had my first visit last year and loved it.

If bloggers on the UKQU site are not prevented or disallowed from entering the draw for tickets, I would love a pair of tickets because it is the first time it hasn’t clashed with the Fairport Convention Cropredy Music Festival.

I would love the chance to win tickets. I’ve been on a no-spend for nearly a year now and this would be a fab way of working round my ban.

Haven’t been for a couple of years. A day there would be great.

I would love to win tickets for this incredible display of quilty, fabric talent and inspiration.

Just discovered I can go to FOQ this year, so excited!

So looking forward to this

Thank you for all the work you do running this each year, I’m looking forward to attending again this year! 🙂

Thought I’d miss this ( my first FOQ ) as family holiday was this weekend – but had to move that, so really looking forward to being able to come especially now having read all about behind the scenes! Thankyou for fascinating insight.

I hadn’t realised how much time, effort and thought goes into this show! Would love to come with my friend Jemma as I haven’t been able to attend for a few years, and can’t wait to visit ! Fingers crossed

Would love to win free tickets to this year’s show. Very interesting to read this interview, thank you

Very interesting interview. I would have assumed it was a quieter organising it but clearly not!

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!

This is a great blog, it was well written and easy to understand. I’ve only been quilting for 2 years and sometimes the ‘jargon ‘ just throws me. I look forward to the next part

Hi I would love to help , I have a 6 ft Freestyle frame so I could do the smaller ones . Please contact me.

I can help, I have a mid arm sweet 16

Hi Maggie. I need more practice using my long arm so would be happy to work on some quilts.

I have an APQS Millie longarm 14 foot long machine and would be happy to help. The beast is restless!!

I have a Q’nique 15r and a Qzone Hoop Frame. I’m not very experienced but would be happy to help.

The addition of the plain grey material was a masterstroke, really brings focus to the main fabrics.

Well done Chris for making a lovely quilt for such a worthy cause. I love Miffy, it works for all age groups too

Fantastic creativity to eke out every last lovely inch of these charming fabrics, such a wonderful thing you have done by making it for the Quilts for Care Leavers project (Q4CL).

I used to love Miffy. I think I still have a colouring book for inspiration lol

Craic washedand ready.

I don’t think I can improve on Judith’s comment!

Love it, made my smile 🙂

I adore this! So Clever!

Who has been in my bathroom

Wow, that’s interesting, glad I don’t need it. Could be confusing!

You might get one from the same shops that sell sky hooks, tartan paint, and left opening pillow cases.

I have seen these in commercials 🙂 sewing at speed and backwards……

Classic!

Thanks for the heads up
