Quilts and aeroplanes
I went to the Duxford spring quilting festival today. There were some lovely quilts on display. I took photos of a few of them to share. The light seemed good enough not to need a flash, but seems like maybe I should have used one anyway. But still, you can see the loveliness.
Secret garden.

After the quilt festival, I went for a walk around the air museum where the festival was held.
There was a Lancaster, the plane made famous by Dam Busters
A messerschmitt.
A sea hawk
And lots of other cool planes, some of which you can see in this flickr set.
It was a fun day. But a long one and I’m exhausted. But I got lots of goodies. I’ll post about them tomorrow, as they deserve a post of their own.

Nic, I always LOVE seeing quilting photos. Thank you for posting all that quilty goodness. We’ve not had internet connection for several days because of snow, so I’m behind on answering your comments and reading blogs. I’m glad I finally could check in. Can’t wait to see your goodies.

Those are beautiful quilts — the secret garden one really captured my imagination! What a stunning quilt.
