Love it, Rosemary! That's a great piece of local art!

I see many more pictoral quilts in the future of Rosemary and Izzy! Very nice! I love it. Great example showing something people of Hull will recognize.

Great quilt Rosemary - and very recognizable too.

Like it. You are so talented (including Izzy )

Well ! This is darned clever and "art-y" too !!

A darn sight better than what I threw together - literally in about 3 - 4 hours (not including the hanging sleeve) and working from memory. Oh & Izzy helped with drawing some of the critters

What a beautiful photo ! That's a quilt waiting to be made, Lorchen !!

Well deducted, Sherlock! A friend of mine used to live just outside of Bridlington.

When my father, a retired engineer, was still alive, he asked me for 'his treat' during every visit. I drove him up to Humber Bridge, and stop the car. He then got out, and walked across the bridge and back whilst I sat in the car and read a book. Last time he did it was when he was 82. He was never interested into go to Hull on the other side of that bridge.

I'm trying to work out where you might be going to by driving around Hull? I suppose Whitby or Bridlington on the coast, but surely if you are after going to the coast from your place you would head to sunny Skeggy (Skegness)

I am not sure that they will all be pictorial quilts - imagine taking a group of your school kids and getting them to create a wall quilt about their school - we will probably end up with (lots of) something like that. (and hopefully some a bit better )

Woohoooo...... Hull is within reach of where I live, but I have never been to Hull. I usually drive around it.

Sorry, Rosemary, I'm not really into pictorial quilts. If I want a realistic image, I take a camera and take a picture1

Anything I can do, Rosemary?? Contact me direct. I am not able to see the end of the tunnel right now. What I have to put up with at work may push me into retirement before I really want to go.

I find it interesting that "quilts" have reached the realm of "culture", woohoo! Good luck Rosemary.

Rosemary, I don't think I have anything yet that could help, but if you check my blogs of April and October of last year and see anything useful, let me know (I haven't updated my profile recently so they're not all there yet). I am working on a house quilt, but I don't think it's complete enough to show well, and I am working on two landscape-ish quilts, but again, they're not complete. Let me know if you want me to email photos of the latter two. Congratulations (or sympathy?) on your new position. Robin

Sue - great suggestion, as you say, easy to find the maker for permission. My friend, Janet, was most specific about getting permission to use the images, rather than just swiping them willy-nilly from anywhere.

Rita - I am not after award winning level (don't want to scare them off) but what could 'Joe off the street' could perhaps aspire to, with some help and guidence. Or a classroom of kids (any age), so anything you have would probably be of use.

Oh, Rosemary, congratulations on your new leadership position!

How about checking out the Quilt Gallery here at TQS. Emails of the makers will be easy to find.
