Last weekend, in a spur-of-the-moment move,
I hauled my patchwork across the
border into Lancashire for the
Patchwork Chicks Quilt Show
at the Pendle Heritage Centre
Many thanks to Karen and the lovely ladies
at Patchwork Chicks for
not only taking my quilts after the deadline
but for being so encouraging and helpful.
I'll read your newsletter properly next time!

| Me and my chickens in the Pendle Heritage Centre barn - seems appropriate! |
The barn is beautiful and the quilts look
lovely against the rough stone walls.
Loved the big quilt hanging
on the wall at the left (below)

Would've liked to take it home...
A few of my smaller projects
 |
| The heart was great fun to make, & the red and cream runner further along was inspired by the Underground Railroad project at our quilt group |
 |
| My 'House & Hearts' runner and, at the back, the first bit of patchwork I ever did - a trio of little people |
 |
| I named this one 'Tesselations', but friend Denise described it as 'Falling Leaves' - sounds right. |
Had a lovely birthday - lunch at the Alma,
an hour or two at the quilt show, tea and cakes with friends
at the Heritage Centre cafe, then home for
an evening with my lovely husband and best pal.
If you're going to Boundary Mill, Barrowford is two minutes
away and a trip to Patchwork Chicks is well worth the detour.
The Heritage Centre is nearby and has a good cafe
and a shop selling hand-made crafts. Fell for a brooch...
