I focused on the pictorial, the art quilts and the 'objects'. <br /><br />I also loved the galleries.<br /><br />I am really quite excited by Hilary and Annabel's initiative. I don't do traditional quilts at all (though I love seeing them and have a couple of american antiques) and love the idea of a like minded community. So really looking forward to seeing how it develops. <br /><br /> Living to work - working to livehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00355154288430953478noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-296486879102675766.post-64897766082638758202012-09-03T19:43:37.707+01:002012-09-03T19:43:37.707+01:00Hi I have just come here from the new Art Quilt bl...Hi I have just come here from the new Art Quilt blog and am delighted to see that you enjoyed seeing my quilt at Festival of Quilts. It's the one below Snake Goddess and I called it 'Change' because I had to fill in the entry form before I had made the quilt and wasn't sure what I was going to do lol I had fun making the quilt with lots of mixed media and throwing paints around.<br /><br />The Art Quilts UK group has made a promising start, it will be interesting to see where it goes from here :-)<br /><br />Juliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14223691871102821084noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-296486879102675766.post-19926660983305910162012-08-20T07:54:57.465+01:002012-08-20T07:54:57.465+01:00I went a bit mad with the camera, so there will be...I went a bit mad with the camera, so there will be more. I did try to keep a tab of what I was photographing so that I can credit the makers, but as you see that did not always work for me.<br /><br />What was so amazing this year were the little galleries - not the main entry quilts but the wonderful galleries with a complete range of work. Understandably, photos in these galleries were on the most part prohibited, but I when I blog about them i will try to add links.<br /><br />It was a really good day.<br /><br />HilaryLiving to work - working to livehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00355154288430953478noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-296486879102675766.post-1560133399291062052012-08-19T20:44:36.633+01:002012-08-19T20:44:36.633+01:00Thank you for sharing your photos!
