One Big Day – in the summer of 2011.

On the day of the Royal Wedding, Anglesey organised a special celebration of its own, ‘One Big Day’ held at the island’s Showground.

There were huge screens to broadcast the wedding, a fair, stalls and a host of TV crews. I was there with Elaine, Maria, Tina and Daf (my husband) demonstrating Patchwork and Quilting and we had a good view of one of the screens.

A good day was had by all, we met lots of interested people, enjoyed working together and got a lot of quilting done between us.

My Individual Workshops are about to commence – Wholecloth starts on Sunday 15th and I’m really looking forward to it – I have missed the buzz of teaching although I have been very busy preparing for the workshops, catching up on Journal Quilts for the Contemporary Quilt Group, and occupied with our holiday cottage. Three of the workshops are full and there are only a couple of places possible on Silk Painting and Fabric Bowls. The Intermediate Course which starts in September is also full. I’m taking names for the Beginners Course which also starts in September. Dorothy
