My first coach trip in years was a trip with my patchwork group from Castle Combe to the 'ol smoke, another first in years, to go back to London! I started with a good look, of course at the fashion section of the V&A. I did of course get there via the museum shop! where it was impossible to resist buying the Repro vintage print fabrics. These I have used to inspire my latest patchwork cushions.
The Quilt Exhibition itself was amazing and I had my sketch book to hand for getting down some ideas for my first quilt.
With tired feet after 3 hours sketching and taking photos on my phone of some of the main V&A exhibits, I wandered down to South Kensington to reminisce on my London working days! I found a lovely Charity shop ( which I had to ask the assistant if I was in a vintage shop or a Charity shop! due to the price tags). So watch this space for my pictures of a completed quilt by ME!
