First demo at Festival of Quilts

I did my first ever demonstration at the Festival of Quilts 2017 showing the 'Life's a bleach' technique. The demo was filmed and shown on a large screen. Here is the room starting to fill up. Very multinational audience - the front row had visitors from Germany, Switzerland, New Zealand and Colchester

Copper Bleach on the way to a new home

It is with mixed emotions that I send my quilt off to a new home in Henley on Thames. I am delighted that a buyer likes it enough to hang it on the wall of their house but it is like saying farewell to a beloved friend after so many happy hours in the making.
