There are already two fantastic accounts of our day on these blogs, and I will struggle to top them:
Lythan's
Jane (Puss)
Although when we arrived at 10.20 there were already loads of people there, even though it didn’t start until 11, it was just those that had to sort out the room that were supposed to be there, so you can see how excited everyone was…so at first it really did look like organised chaos…but we soon got things moving, no idea where all the chairs were from and somehow more and more kept appearing…..when there was some assemblance of order it looked fab.
I really enjoyed looking through the ‘show and tell’ and having a quick rummage through the bring and buy and managed to find a couple of punches….I just don’t know how the day went so quickly and I am not really sure if I spoke to everyone. I think and hope I did…
There was some great demo's but tbh I seemed to flitting here and there that I only saw glimpses of them, but everyone seemed to enjoy.
We had a fab raffle, with prizes blagged by Bex :AA and we also had a secret pressie that everyone took and popped into a big bucket and then we all drew one. I had some great ribbons and stickers. The day was busy from end to end.
Here is a pic of the lovely quilt that was made by a group of forum members:
There are lots more photos on the gallery:
Birmingham Gallery
Some of us went for a meal afterwards and that gave me a chance to chat some more, it was a bit disappointing that we couldn't all sit together.
Well it was truly a fabulous day, and I can't believe that all these friendships have been made through my forum.
