This is a quick photo post of the Malvern Autumn Quilt show that I went to today with my excellent friends Ceri and Alison. It’s quite a small show and so you could see it all easily, and you could get up to the traders for a change and really see what they had on the stall.
I took the new camera with me and couldn’t resist taking some arty photos. The lovely bundles of tweed came from Quilting Antics, who also have a blog. They thought it was hilarious that I wanted to take a photo of their fabric. I had a nice conversation with them and they seemed to be my kind of quilters – ones with a sense of humour, rather than treating it all as a life or death issue. Their blog is lovely and one very much for people who love to quilt. Anyway, the photos:

What beautiful photos – that is a fantastic new camera you have there, and it’s in the hands of a fantastic photographer. Good decision
Wow, your camera is superb, the pictures are so bright. Beautiful colours, perfect for the autumn! Can’t wait to see you on the 5th of november.
Thanks for this – looking forward to seeing you soon too. It’s going to be a very good day.
There was a trader at Festival of Quilts with wonderful Irish tweed too. I bought some pieces, and a roll of strips made from SILK tweed. They are absolutely scrummy, I thought I’d use them for a random-ish log cabin. Wool is lovely to sew with but you have to think about the seams (or leave raw edges). Wool must be “having a moment”.
I think it is having a moment. Like you, I really love it, but it’s hard to work into things because of the bulk and the fraying. There are some nice cushions on the Quiltingantics website. I have just about got to grips with furnishing fabric – perhaps this is the next challenge. BTW loved your red windows quilt.
Reblogged this on Quilting Antics and commented:
I wanted to share this post with you all ahead of my own post later today. I will be posting pics of many of the quilts from Malvern, Ann’s post is so very different to mine with her lovely close ups. Also I wanted to say thank you for the kind words you wrote about us , you are right we do love a giggle and look forward to having many more with you x.
What a lovely comment – thanks so much.
My pleasure 😃
You must have felt like a kid in a candy store! Beautiful photos.
