We came away with bundles of fat quarters and lots of ideas for crafts. I can't wait to get back on the sewing machine!
Some of the larger quilts depicting military scenes and Bible freezes were clearly impressive but not my favourites. The modern quilts were interesting and occasionally politically challenging dealing with issues such as abortion, Iraqi casualties and dreams. There was also an amazing project done by the inmates at HMP Wandsworth which was thought-provoking and touching.
In the evening dad and Ben joined us and we decamped to Eat17, one of my favourite restaurants in London. Just a couple of miles up the road in Walthamstow, the food is outstanding and locally sourced (the beer is even brewed in Leyton!). The service is also really friendly without being OTT.
