FOQ 2024

People are so kind and I'm so lucky to have such great chums. I had to miss this years FOQ because I was still completely floored by covid and I mean completely wiped out. But some wonderful chums old and new made sure I didnt feel too left out. Carolyn so kindly offered to get a picture for me

The green and pink one is mine made from Lucy Engles fabric and a 70s shirt Scoobs worse in the pandemic. Below is the full quilt

Not only did Carolyn take these pictures but she made sure I got a sticker and she bought be a badge too! How sweet and generous 

I was super gutted not to go because chum Sheena had a booth because of her Diploma course. Ruth and I were going to help her set up, lots of planning zooms! But sadly that was not to be for me, but Sheena had  great time and her booth looked brilliant 

But Ruth and Sheena made sure I didn't feel left out and sent on this care package 🥰 lots of things I love but most of all I love my chums and am so grateful for them 

FOQ journey home

 I will finish with the journey home, i was a little bit concerned as I had a bad tummy but we managed it all ok. flying still blows my mind a bit, not as much as it did at first but it still feels immense.

Well it does until the very rude person in front of you does this!!!!!!😂

why yes I do track all my FOQ attendance old skool style 😂

tucked away for another year

New pin on the pennant!

Oh yes I won these fabrics in the #greatbritishquilter challenge! how lovely! I know what I am going to use them for.

Round up of all purchases! lets see how many I can use before next FOQ!!!!

FOQ day 3 last day at show

 Some pictures need no caption, how lovely to have bosies with this one

I managed to hug Tanya as well as say hello to wee Sophie, who offered me her (rather soggy) rich tea, thank you Sophie 😊

Here is a dump of all the pictures I took this day! so many lovely minaitures, maker caption after the picture

I went to Heather Audins talk about the guild collection then went to visit the display.

first though I had a fantastic but brief catch up with Natalie and her (not yet) daughter in law Katie, so lovely lots of hugs!!!

I was wiped out by the end of the day so this was medicinal 😉

sign of a great day!

Tatty bye FOQ see you again next year!

Oh before I forget!!!! purchases! Isnt this penguin adorable! Sad story the lovely couple who ran the stall had their van broken into the night before no stock taken but damage done.

Yes I know I said no more charm packs but you didnt seriously believe me 😂

These make a pouch which is SO simple to make!

boring but necessary

why yes i regretted not buying more of the reindeer print!

Ahhh this is for stitch book!

Yes I also regretted not buying more of the library print ...

One of my farouvrite all time prints

To go with the fabric I bought last year!

And thats it for last day at show! We went to the Little Owl for evening meal as we normally do, very nice. What a lovely lovely time!
