I've got one left, but that doesn't get marked so I feel like I can relax again.
It's been a tough couple of months, but I'm looking forward to focusing on my quilting over the summer.
I wonder if any of you remember last year I went to the Sandown quilt show and wasn't too impressed? Well I was challenged by Ferret http://www.ferfab.co.uk/ to put my money where my mouth is and get more modern quilts into it.
Lucky a few of the members of the London Modern Quilt Guild took pity on me and have entered. So I had to put in one myself.
I made this for the show but hesitated before going for it. The show is next weekend so if you are in the area try and give it your support and see if you can spot the modern quilters quilts! I hope people enjoy them.

Even though I haven't been sewing, it was my turn in the Fqr Kinky Bee. I was very mean and asked for flying geese blocks in whatever configuration people wanted to make using the fabric I sent them. So far these are the ones I've had back and I absolutely love them. The variety of how my brief has been interpreted is amazing.
The next retreat is in July, but I doubt I will get a top ready to show the ladies.
I hope to become a more regular blogger and commentator now I have less pressure, I've missed you all.
Wish me luck for next weekend. I hope they aren't too mean In their feedback!

I am glad your time is clearing and you will be able to sew some more. I too have had an huge intrusion into my free time by my work but will be back to normal soon. I sure hope your stunning quilt is appreciated and loved in the show.
I will be going on Saturday too, have had the date in my diary this year so that I didn't miss it again. Maybe You, Amy and I can meet up at some point?
