Acting on impulse...

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...
