Ready to go

I have worked all day getting ready to go up to London tomorrow for the Fat Quarterly Retreat. I am travelling with my sewing buddy, Trudi and although I really can't remember why we are going a day early it is a good plan!

My bags are packed.This one has my Bee a Brit Stingy quilt in it, all finished and bound.

The quilt was a bit of a squeeze to complete, but it is done!!!! I will reveal it to my bee buddies at retreat and on Flickr, (because some of my bee buddies won't be with us :( ) before I let you all see it. Trudi has worked her magic on it by doing some amazing quilting. It is so beautiful and a quilt that I will always treasure.
I have also been working on my little travel case. I took on board all the suggestions given to me and this is what I have done….



I am using this little case to take my sewing supplies to Retreat. I have a couple of EPP classes so this case will be able perfect to tote around supplies.

I am sorry if you are not going to be at the Retreat however I am so looking forward to seeing lots of my sewing friends. If you are not there, then, as  I have gone all technical - on Instagram (@willowbeckdesigns), - I aim to post some photos over the weekend but for now I am going to bed to get some much needed beauty sleep.

    Di, So lovely finally meeting you at the retreat. Hope your journey back went well. There just wasn't enough time to get to know people as well as I wanted! Sorry I was a bit manic at the Quilt Market - I think the heat had got to me!! My fave was the improv class - what was yours? Jx
