Vintage heaven in Brighton

A must every year, is a trip to Brighton – I love the place. Sun, sea, sand, shopping….

I always start the morning in The Lanes with such good intentions of spending the afternoon on the front, but inevitably my ‘rummaging and shopping’ inner self takes over and I eventually hobble to the beach early evening accompanied by a large portion of Fish & Chips…. a very good day.
First of all a flavour of The Lanes… vintage and eclectic heaven.

The Festival of Quilts 2014 – Part Five – Winners in each Category

At The Festival of Quilts, I made a decision to check out all the competition quilts first and leave viewing the prize winners until the very end of the day (the winners pieces were overwhelmed with crowds during the afternoon). Having seen all the entries, it was clear to see why each of the winners had been chosen. Here they are complete with category and maker’s details – Enjoy.
