On Saturday I went over to Ten-Ton-Tessie's mummy and daddy for the day. I was going to try and help them get to grips with using some software we both have for digitising our own quilting designs and also to look at some tops they had and work out what to quilt on them. Well, we did a bit of the UFO-planning, then we hasd a lovely lasagne for lunch. After that we looked at the tops that they have quilted since they got Tessie, talked about some more tops and it was time for me to come home. We must have talked too much, so the digitisin part of the day didn't happen! perhaps we'll do better next time?
Yesterday was the Knitting and Stitching show in Harrogate. Mrs PennyPot and I went to that. We were both very disappointed with it this year. The only quilt we saw was made up from flattened beer-cans. The show was £12 entrance, which is a lot too. We spent a couple of hours there and then left and went to a nearby hotel where we had a lovely bar-meal. Next year, we decided, we'll skip the show, just go to lunch. (Mind you, we "do" lunch quite often, even without that excuse!)
And where are the photos, I hear you ask? Well, guess what? I forgot my camera both days!
Dear Father Christmas,
Please could you bring me a new, working, memory for Christmas?
Thank you.
What NO pictures...I've NEVER seen a beer can quilt before...sounds very cozy!
ReplyDeleteTake care!

If you get a new memory can you let me know where to get one from! lol I didn't take any pics at the Region 10 Day with Elizabeth Brimelow and her quilts, and the camera was in my bag all the time!!! Lunch ... did you say lunch, I better get the tea on!
ReplyDeleteSounds like a perfectly lovely weekend, even though it wasn't exactly what you had planned.
ReplyDeleteHi Sue - you have been busy. I also went to knt and stitch and did take some photos- even of the beer can quilt, but like you, I'm not sure I'll bother next year!
ReplyDeleteHow can you forget the camera and leave us hanging?! LOL

Beer can quilt? I've heard of Crown Royal quilts but not beer can. Sounds weird me...
ReplyDeleteI think the beer can quilt would at least make our obsession more appealing to the men in our lives but..... weird!
ReplyDeleteHope Santa comes up with the goods otherwise I'll send you some Post It Notes to stick everywhere to remind you of things...like cameras :0)

Hmm, £12 for what is not the biggest show in the world - FoQ wasn't that much, was it?
ReplyDeleteDear Father Christmas,
Please could you bring me a new, working, memory for Christmas?
You don't want it, honestly, take advantage of the forgetfullness - "sorry darling, I forgot to cook your dinner, iron your shirts, make those important and horrible phone calls that you are avoiding". You know, you could work this to your advantage!
