I was wondering if anyone is going to the Festival of Quilts in Birmingham, England, UK, on Saturday 13th Aug ? -- a week on Saturday !!!
I am looking forward to it and hopefully seeing K3N's lovely quilt - hope she gets a ribbon.

Hi, Shame you cannot come !! I wonder if your thinking of someone else, as I haven't done any stewarding at FoQ. I have done some at a local small quilt exhibition but not Birmingham.
Hope you have a nice holiday !!

I am going on the Thursday with my quilting group from Churchdown in Gloucestershire. Being economical this month so I have some pennies to spend!

Hi Maureen,
No, I am not staying, we are going up by coach on the Saturday - hope to be there 10.30 - 11.00 am.

That's a shame Dotty we have gradually increased our length of stay, we figure as were getting older we take more time to get round the show, we started off with two days/one night then increased over time besides it's a good rest from the guy's - no washing up/bedmaking and best of all a little voice that says "do you really need to buy that". Wev'e also booked to go on the Dinner Barge this year just to see what it's like - last year we went to the evening fashion show but it did drag on a bit. I go with a friend who doesn't sew (she makes greetings cards but she gets more excited than me about going) anyway maybe we will see each other who knows

Are you from London Dotty !!!

I'm planning on going on Saturday with a friend. Rather looking forward to it :) , although will need to watch the spending. Unfortunately I haven't been very economical this month :(
