What a weekend!!

Well, it has been GLORIOUSLY hot AND sunny, it has felt as though we are on holiday it has been so lovely with the weather this weekend. I will not utter the words, "it's too warm", after the death of so many plants that have been the structure in the garden because of the long white winter. It is a blessing having my tomatoes growing so strongly. Last year they were so slow.
Anyway, I am not mentioning the best part of the weekend....
On friday, I got up at 4AM, got myself together and collected my friend at 5 AM, and we made our way to the airport...

we caught a plane to London and made our way to the V & a for the Quilts 1700-2010 exhibition. It was wonderful. It is a real pleasure to get a glimpse of so many quilts that are not normally on display. We sat on the plane coming home, feet hot and sore, backs in agony but planning a trip to Bath. There is an exhibition on displaying many of the American Museum Quilt collection that are not usually displayed. It's the most wonderful feeling standing gazing at something, someone has made with love 2 maybe 300 years ago!! Sewing patches together like I do, my friends do... I took a moment to stand watching other spectators, people who like me have this fascination for cutting and sewing bits of fabric together.
