I have arrived on British soil! After landing at the London Heathrow airport I boarded a train to Birmihgham. I was greeted with the iconic 'Mind the Gap' at on the train platforms.

After a good rest I headed over to the convention hall to help hang the exhibition of my quilts. Lo and behold I ran into Laura Wasilowski who is here selling her wonderful hand-dyed fabric. Then, I ran into two of my favorite Scottish quilters, Liz Furguson and Morven Roche. They are part of a 10 member Scotish art quilt group called Turning Point and their quilts are being featured in a special exhibit as well.

I've connected with many other quilters from the UK and Europe who I haven't seen in a long while. As I type this, I am finished with setting up my exhibition and tomorrow the doors will open and the hoards of quilters will descend.
