A weekend spent inspiring New Quilters

Jul 30, 2012 3 Replies

I'm recovering from a weekend spent at the Manchester Mini Maker Faire held at the Museum of Science and Industry. I spoke to lots of new quilters many of who said they were inspired to go away and continue by seeing my stuff - wow, what a buzz that has given me! I explained about sandwiching, quilting & binding, fabric choices, where I buy my fabric, what sort of sewing machine I use, why I wear gardening gloves to quilt and other topics I can no longer remember. I have put a picture of my stand on my flickr page

Of all the quilts I took along the one that caught passing eyes was the crumb quilt - I think because of all the different colours in it.



Now to try to inspire myself :-)

How exciting, Lizzy! Good for you! :)

I wish I could have gone! Nice little stand, and well done inspiring others!

Hi Jo,

It sounds like the big Maker Faire UK will be back in Newcastle-upon-Tyne next year - usually March to coincide with their science fest

That might be more accessible for you, though I know it was a timing issue this year too.
