I have just returned from a trip up north where my grandma took me on a trip to see Farfield Mill. This was a fascinating trip to a former woolen mill (I'm told the looms still run on weekends). The picture above is a picture of the mill run. Inside the mill there were a number of artists and artisans. I met a lady (former maths teacher) who made beautiful quilts. I regret not taking any photos of her quilts. One of them was a fairly traditional design, but the quilting was done in the design of a celtic cross, and is certainly something that I want to remember. She also made a cute children's quilt, using plain fabric sewn over patterned fabric to create little pockets or envelopes which kids could hide little toys in, or unwrap to look at the pictures. Lovely idea!
