Last Thursday, I made my, nearly annual, pilgrimage to the Festival of Quilts at the NEC Birmingham. You might be thinking, “Alison, you sell ribbons and trims — not quilts!”. And you’d be right. But it's the biggest Quilt show in Europe so there's plenty to see OTHER than quilts.

I finally made it back to the NEC Festival of Quilts this year for their 20th anniversary. It's always such a source of inspiration.
