Today was the first day of the Scottish Quilt Championships held at Ingliston (near the airport) in Edinburgh. I had entered three quilts and they obliged me by gaining a rozette each. The one above was on it's first outing. It's called Double Doodle and I will tell you more about it in a future post. It was hanging right under a spotlight which made photography difficult. But the good news is that I had also arranged a blipmeet with Jenny, known on Blipfoto as The Wren. She photographed both me and my quilt. Here is the link. It was so lovely to meet her again as well as her quilting group.
Here is a detail of Double Doodle and it gained a Judges Merit rozette.
As you can tell our wifi is back up but there are still some issues with it. When someone phones us on the landline it can throw off the broadband and as we are so far from the telephone exchange it takes ages to get it back up. I will admit freely here that I'm an online junkie so I find such episodes far from pleasant, specially when those phone calls come unasked from international call centres trying to flog you something. But this has been such a gorgeous day that even that can't get me down at the moment.

Well deserved accolades Frieda! Your way with colour is a delight. I sympathise re Broadband - we are a long way from an exchange and wondering about going for satellite - I work and play online and feel most irked without it (as is often the case...)
Wahoo Frieda - how wonderful for you - looks like a great show...
Congrats on the ribbons Frieda! I feel that every one of your quilts deserves a ribbon. Your work is incredibly detailed and just stunning!
