FOQ part four

 And definitely my last post from this years Festival

I am always attracted to crazy quilts and this one was stunning.





Just so many beautiful details.



This quilt is part of the Quilters Guild collection, just beautiful.




This is also part of the QG collection. I have wanted to see this 'in the flesh' (excuse pun) for such a long time. Annabel's work is stunning - do check out her website and the Windrush quilt series. She also writes the oocasional Substack newsletter which is free and a good read.





There was a large gallery full of work by Sachiko Yoshida. Some of her quilts were huge and all just so beautiful.









Anf finally the Cherrywood fabrics gallery. Another large gallery full of these beautiful poppy themed panels which were made a couple of years ago for a competition.



Could have spent hours in this gallery, so many different designs and styles, just amazing.


Many thanks for all your appreciative comments, I hope you have enjoyed this last trip to Festival.

    Beautiful. Those poppies are stunning. The cherry blossom quilt and the crazy patches caught my eye too.

    I am also very fond of crazy quilting, both looking at it and making it.

    I love Sachiko Yoshida’s quilts, especially “The Season of Cherry Blossom”. I moved to Japan in 2011, and I know how strongly it affected everyone in the country.

    Thank you, Lin!

    One of the you-tube channels that I watched featured that Japanese quilter. Stunning work.
