I just found this information for the Great Northern Quilt Show in Yorkshire

This is my favourite show and the first one I went to donkeys years ago. It's a lot quieter than most and in a lovely setting. Have you been Rosemary

Several times, I love it, usually it is on the first Friday - Sunday after the kids go back to school, so before I got the job of midday bouncer at school I would go on the Friday as a treat for myself for surviving 6 weeks of the school hols :lol: Last year I managed to leave the other 2 at home and went on the Sat. again as a wonderful treat for myself, ended up having a pleasant natter with Jenny Rayment & Ferret too.

Not met Ferret but love her work. I search it out at FOQ.

Jenny Rayment is a very funny lady, I've heard her talk a couple of times.

Just found out from Doughty's show list that this year it will be 31st - 2nd September.

[twiglet]

Great I'll put it in my diary and see if I can get friday off. Which day would you go?

[twiglet]

'Great minds think alike....'

I had been thinking of possibly going on the Friday, I think it tends to be a bit quieter, because you are avoiding the weekend rush. Here is a thought though, perhaps we ought to give Lorchan a shout, and you could spin past & pick her up en route(or maybe not). If she doesn't need to be in school for anything pre-term starting, I know she has mentioned wanting to go, but if it is the weekend after school starts, she is too frazzeled.

[twiglet]

Yes I'll certainly take her and schools usually go back the first week in September so we should be ok :P Hopefully she can leave the ark behind.

[twiglet]

'aark, aark'

:lol: :lol: :lol:

I've dropped her a line.

[twiglet]

:lol: :lol:

[Lorchen]

You called??!!

I should be ok for that weekend, and can combine it with seeing my goddaughter who lives near Northallerton. Please, remind me closer to the day.

I think it's the weekend before we are back in school. Several times in the past it was the first weekend after we were back and I was just too exhausted by then. But the dates falls better for me this year.

[twiglet]

Great. At one time it was in the middle of August which was better but moved probably because of the FOQ clashing .

[twiglet]

AAAghh - forgot Izzy, she doesn't do quilt shows now, & DH doesn't have the leave to take the Friday off. I will have to see if I can palm her off on one of her friends, or I cannot go until Sat.

Wishful thinking :wink: It was more a case of forgetting what to do with her, when she was tidgy, I could just put her in a backpack and tote her around shows, now she is more inclined to be a 'right whinge bucket' about the mere idea of being dragged to a quilt show :roll: Love her dearly, but not keen on everything she does (especially the whinging) :wink:
