A weekend spent inspiring New Quilters

I'm recovering from a weekend spent at the Manchester Mini Maker Faire
held at the Museum of Science and Industry. I spoke to lots of new
quilters many of who said they were inspired to go away and continue by
seeing my stuff - wow, what a buzz that has given me! I explained about
sandwiching, quilting & binding, fabric choices, where I buy my fabric,
what sort of sewing machine I use, why I wear gardening gloves to quilt
and other topics I can no longer remember. I have put a picture of my
stand on my flickr page

Of all the quilts I took along the one that caught passing eyes was the
crumb quilt - I think because of all the different colours in it.

Now to try to inspire myself :-)

I wish I could have gone! Nice little stand, and well done inspiring
others!

Hi Jo,

It sounds like the big Maker Faire UK will be back in
Newcastle-upon-Tyne next year - usually March to coincide with their
science fest
http://www.facebook.com/sciencefest

That might be more accessible for you, though I know it was a timing
issue this year too.
