Festival of Quilts 2023

Come and join us the Festival of quilts 2023. The footage was taken on Friday 4th August. The first part of the video shows the main Gallery. Then a little bit of the stalls and then the winners gallery. I tried to take footage of the designers information as well so you can find them. Although there was so much there, some footage is taken to give you the idea of the atmosphere. For more information on the show visit www.thefestivalofquilts.co.uk/

How would you ever be able to pick "best in show"?? The talent and imagination are off the charts! You always pick the most appropriate music to accompany your videos, Ellie. Most enjoyable! Thank you!

[@dianegledhill9793]

I was lucky enough to be able to spend two days at FOQ this time, but it obviously wasn't long enough, your video has made me realise just how much I missed! Thank you for the brilliant footage.

[@gjones9409]

Me here too!

[@mojow9841]

This just popped up on my feed and I'm so glad it did-- wonderful to see so many fabulous quilts. Really inspiring. Thank you for sharing this with all of us who cannot get there in person, though we'd love to.

[@wendyduwe3995]

Thank you so much for posting this video Ellie! The quilts and all needlework looked absolutely amazing! Little Jensen is soooo cute. We have a 3yr old grandson and he is so very busy. Love and hugs to you and your family.

[@northwestkathleen1124]

This show was a real pleasure to watch without yakety yakking and taking your time to actually look at the quilts and in close up, to show the magnificent quilting, and the skill of the quilt maker, was done superbly. the quality of these quilts was magnificent. We have a quilt Show here on the Oregon Coast but not with the quality as shown here. Just marvelous, well done!

[@crafthousemagic]

Thank you so much for watching x x

[@valeriebishop561]

May I say Ellie you are looking very spiffy! I see why Jensen has a harness. He is very busy! Thank you for this look at this wonderful show. Loved the young folks and their work, especially the one that was titled My future!

[@countingsheepatsunrisehill9019]

Such beautiful work--so many talented makers! Thanks Ellie for sharing!

[@omisfavorites1054]

Thank you so much for the time and effort it took to create this video! What a wonderful gift you’ve given us. It was fun to see see you, Adam and Jensen enjoying the quilt show. As to the quilts - I’m absolutely speechless!!

[@sharonwalker3697]

Thank you Ellie for showing us , the stunning quilts. A big day for Jensen, a dear wee boy.

[@suedale1865]

Wow Ellie thank you for filming the quilting exhibition all stunning what a hard job judging the best 😳 I am going to quilt exhibition in duxford in September be good if anything like these I’m in total awe of the beautiful work Thank you again 💜💙❤️

[@sandrajune1172]

Thank you Ellie. I was unable to get to our quilt show here in Australia this year so seeing the one in the UK that you went to was a real treat. Those quilts were amazing. The people who made them are so talented. ❤

[@cindiemoore2530]

My 2nd cousin has always been a wonderful artist. I found out recently that she has quilts at both the Metropolitan Museum and at the Smithsonian.

[@tonivince589]

Wow! So much talent on show. Think my favorite is the sewing machine. Just stunning! It was good to see so much seating available. Some of the shows I’ve been to have had no seating. I must commend you on your filming and editing skills Ellie. 👏👏👏. Looks like Jenson enjoyed himself too. 😊❤

[@angelamears3201]

I couldn’t go to the Festival of Quilts this year Ellie……so I’m so grateful to you for making this video with Adam & Jensen…….so inspiring…..I hope you enjoyed your day.

[@shirleysherratt5378]

Thank you. I was there Thursday and Friday (half day) so lovely to have my memory refreshed and to see things I had missed. ❤

[@sandrajones8792]

Such Talent absolutely beautiful 💕

[@karenbrooks7197]

From those of us who couldn't make it.....thank you for this beautiful video. ❤

[@christinewhiting8126]

Hi Ellie and family, So much talent on show, cannot begin to imagine the hours of work involved. Nice to see younger talented exhibits too. Jensen has defintely found his feet. Thank you for taking the time to film for us. Best wishes Chris from Kent

[@jeanandreas3446]

Blown away of all the quilts. Thanks for taking us there. 😍😍🤩🤩

[@jeantruesdale2706]

Beautiful quilts and you're looking great 😊

[@greenquiltsgalore1326]

Thank you! I'm overwhelmed! Such a wonderful show!

[@carolynkendrick4491]

Fantastic to see all the quilts again, and even some that I missed. More quilts next time please (and less on the traders because I'm watching after the event so it's not so relevant now 😂). Thanks for making and sharing this.

[@carolyngethings]

Can't thank you enough for this superb video. You've obviously put a lot of time and effort into making it. I was disappointed because I missed this year's show but you've absolutely made up for that. Luck added you to my recommended channels and I've just subscribed. xx

[@annbashir5888]

Thank you Ellie so much , my goodness such beautiful work, such imagination

[@annesullivan1171]

That was so nice to 2atch, Thankyou. The quilts are amazing, all of them ❤

[@lyndasutherland2296]

Thank you for giving me the chance to see all this wonderful work.😊

[@ericallerton809]

Thanks Ellie,, What a showcase of quilts,,, Thanks for sharing it all with us,,, ElaineXoxo

[@cw107]

Thank you so much, Ellie, for this fantastic video. Can only look in awe at such skill and creativity. Loved seeing all the stands as well. And what beautiful fabrics and threads for sale - many of which were sadly missing at the Knitting & Stitching Show at Alexandra Palace in London last October 🙁 Did you buy anything? (Imagine you were all pleased to get home and put your feet up!!)

[@georginabird9354]

Absolutely stunning thanks for taking us xx

[@bettyjotatum6115]

Well done video. I could even see the quilting stitches on most of the quilts. I live in Virginia, USA so I couldn't make it to the show. Thank you for this wonderful video.

[@lynnesanders8215]

This work is beyond my comprehension. I think if I had another lifetime I would never be able to produce any of this work. Glorious. The only quilting I have ever done was a hexagon paper piecing cushion that seemed to take me years to make. So I guess it wasn't quite my thing😂. But I do appreciate the craftsmanship. Enjoyed the craft produced by schools. A better thing to do than stare at a phone. Although now at my age I do quite a lot of that. Thank you Utube 😂 Going to the Knitting and Stitching show at Alexander Palace in October. There are often beautiful quilts there. I look forward to it every time as it's not too far from where I live and I don't travel well. Thank you Ellie. Jensen looks fascinated by the colours. Think that's a good sign. Love Lynne ❤️

[@elizabethrutledge8182]

Hi dear Ellie - that was soooo good! Such inspiring work and wonderful to see how alive our world of crafts is 😊 it’s just amazing that I can sit here at home on a small island to the south of the big island of Australia and view beautiful work from the other end of the world! Another plus - I can’t buy a single thing, or can I? Hmmm - I can always look at the websites of some of those beautiful stands 😂

[@suzanwild3548]

Thank you for sharing. You packed a lot in a short space of time and with a little one too!! I went last year but I decided not to go this year, which was fortunate given that I’ve not been well, so might not have enjoyed as much. Thanks once again Ellie.

[@and_sew_i]

Thank you for including my mermaid. I actually hardly too any photos or video's of it hanging! doh

[@suelogan506]

Thank you Ellie for a relaxing way to see the Festival of Quilts. I've been wanting to go for years. I'm going to put it on my to do list for my 80th birthday next year and hope I'm as fit then as I am today. Your filming is great. Thank you.

[@lindag3663]

Thank you so much for this Ellie! I went on Thursday and didn't see half of this!!! I had a fantastic day though so hope you all did too!

[@helentucker6407]

Madly impressive work! I suddenly feel very inadequate 😆

[@crafthousemagic]

You and me both!

[@penelopebrady5937]

Hi Ellie, I was unable to make it to Birmingham this year from the Sunshine Coast, Queensland, thank you for sharing.

[@crafthousemagic]

You’re welcome 😊 thank you for watching x x

[@beckybarnes9676]

Wow! Thank you for sharing your experience with us Ellie. I wonder how many 'confessions' you took home 😆

[@lidabard2121]

I can't thank you enough for sharing this video. So many gifted, talented fiber artists! Where do they get the time it takes to make these fantastic works of art? I watched it twice.
