Lorchen, thanks you so much for all the photos. The quilts looked wonderful. The church looked wonderful and the Christmasy quilts reminded me that I should probably get on with some table runners and place mats for the family for Christmas! Loved the appliqued one and the one with the mariners compass/New York beauty one. Margo your appliqued quilt with the cross hatching is exquisite. Lorna I love the idea of your fat quarter odyssey too.

Lorna, I'm glad you made it and enjoyed your day out!

Margo, that appliqué quilt is beautifully made and the background is very simply cross-hatched. I love 'understated' quilting. Too often I see quilts were the busy and heavy quilting distracts from the pieced blocks or the appliqué. But then I'm a simple girl myself!

Me too, Lorchen!! I absolutely LUV a traditional quilt with simple cross-hatching, either by hand or by machine. Here is one that I did 6 years ago:

I did make it to North Kyme Saturday afternoon to see the quilt show in the lovely little church. On the fence in front of the church they hung a strings of quilt blocks. It was easy to know that I was in the right place. That and it was the only steeple in this little town. The quilts were all wonderful as Lorchen's pictures show. My favorite piece was actually cross stitched. The center was a Kingfisher bird and around that were other birds and flowers from the UK. It is such a pretty bird with it's blue back and red breast. Just a couple weeks ago, I had finally spied one on the river behind my house. Over at the Village Hall I bought a fat quarter. My goal is to collect a green fat quarter from each shop and show I attend here in the UK and in the end will make a quilt to mark my time here. It was a perfect sunny day for a drive through the very green country side. It is so different than the drought stricken brown of south central Texas where I came from.
