Festival of Quilts 2023

 

Quilting in Action Stand 10

Festival of Quilts 2023 was an exhilarating four days with large crowds of visitors every day. I missed last year and it was great to be back in the thick of it.

Here is my stand, only small but enough room to demonstrate (thank you to Janome for loaning me a machine for the show.  The MC200 model stitched like a dream!) and to display lots of 'Playing with Pojagi' pieces of work which I have been making all year. 

Plus packs and fabrics for sale.  

Playing with Pojagi pack £30

Playing with Pojagi Packs. This blue colourway and pattern were the most popular line - should have taken more!

New stocks of the cotton organdie fabric are due this week so if you would like one posted just drop me an email: maryelmcintosh@gmail.com

 

I also delivered a talk 'Looking for Inspiration - different approaches to making new work' at the show.

This is me all set up ready to start. Thank you to everyone who came along.  This talk is available for groups to book, either in person or as a zoom talk. When I visit groups I take lots more of my work to show. 

And I demonstrated the 'Putting on the Glitz' technique as part of the Creative Textiles Studio on Saturday and Sunday afternoons.

Lots of interested visitors came to watch these free demonstrations and great to be working alongside other tutors and textile artists. 

Thank you to Leah Higgins, Hazel Ryder and Terry Donaldson for organising the studios and to Fibre Arts Takes Two for their sponsorship

A huge thankyou too to Elizabeth Ingle, Elaine Aston, Bridget Anderson and Philippa Taitt who covered my stand whilst I was away talking or demonstrating.

Stand QIA10 already rebooked for 1st - 4th August 2024!

'Putting on the Glitz' packs are available in four colourways. Blues/Greens/Pinks and Coppers

£25
