My main mission for the week was to catch up with customer quilts that I had not done in the lead up to FoQ. I like to keep on top of them as I find having a queue of quilts a bit stressful!
True to my word, I have been making an effort to test out my cameras so I get to learn all of their features. It does not mean that I have necessarily made any decisions to trade any of them in but the exercise has been worthwhile to become more familiar with them. I have also tried sorting them into designated bags for which I made heat-pressed labels.
Nella and I had a big day out in Edinburgh by train. I don’t think I have ever been there at the height of Edinburgh Fringe Festival before and it was very busy. We had pre-booked to visit 2 exhibitions. I really enjoyed the Grayson Perry exhibition at the National Gallery. I had no idea that he had created some huge tapestries. They are designed using a computer then digitally woven in Belgium in a modern version of tapestry making. The ceramics and maps were also fascinating.
At the National Museum we saw a special exhibition called, “Beyond the Little Black Dress” and Nella was thrilled to see examples from some of her favourite designers. I particularly liked one that looked as though it had been constructed from 3D leather boxes. I wonder how that could be done as a quilt?
