Quilter's Diary


A little while ago I went to visit the Quilt Museum in York. The exhibition at the time was 'It's All In The Making'. No photography allowed, unfortunately, so I can't share any pics of the quilts, but there are a few on the website..
As well as being a great exhibition, the museum is also well worth a visit to see the building (well, that statement belongs to the whole of York, really!).


Whilst there, the lure of the museum shop was too big a temptation. Restraint meant I only came away with a 2014 Quilt diary.
 
I've already started using. My intention is to record all sewing / quilting related ideas and activities in here. I'm also going to track the amount of time I spend doing this, in an idea blatantly stolen from  Michele from Quilts From My Crayon Box. Hope she doesn't mind!

 
The diary has lots of lovely colour photos. I was particularly taken with this one. A small hexie baby quilt in turquoises and reds. Really like this colour way.
