QUILT SHOW ON A BUGET, is it possible?

[@judyzeigler3980]

Lovely fabric all of it. I have to be careful around I of course am so in love with fabric. Even if I don’t have a pattern in mind. So I’ve had to hold back on the fabric. Really hard to do. That for sharing your video. Have a great rest of your day.😊

[@stitchwithrachel]

Oh me too, its so addictive 🤣

[@kimberlyshepard196]

Excited to see the dog done

[@evelynfrench804]

Lovely, all, love your patterns. Would love to see the construction of the animals. Thank you for sharing. ❤️

[@busybeenature9092]

Loved going to festival of quilts with you. Thanks 🙏

[@penelope8739]

Oh I laughed.......Quilt Show on a Budget was pushing the title a bit. However, I am new to quilting and as yet haven't been to a quilt show (but I have a lovely shop called Quilting in the Meadows) so you can imagine it was eye candy going around it with you. I liked everything you bought but I'm not sure I could have held back. Thank you for mentioning House of Zandra. I must look at those. Enjoy your purchases and I look forward to seeing what you do with these. I love your videos.....

[@linbourne8731]

Malvern is the closest of the large quilt shows nearest to me being about 15 miles away, so always do both Spring and Autumn Shows. Yes the Spring Show is considerably bigger than the Autumn one although this year I noticed that several of the larger suppliers didn't have a presence this time. There were some fantastic Competition Quilts and more this year that were to my taste in colours and techniques. Had a great visit and yes I had to do some retail therapy although I tried to avoid adding to my fabric stash apart from one purchase at Hollies Haberdashery on Tilda fabric - my current fabric obsession 😊. Glad you enjoyed your visit.

[@chippewagirl7299]

I wish I could have gone with you Rachel. I can't wait to see the animals and the pouch for sure. Such fun to see the quilt shows with you.

[@stitchwithrachel]

I usually consider fabric an essential purchase, even more so if I get to show people around! 🤣

[@traceybartlam7737]

Oh my goodness so much lovely fabric! I went to Malvern a few years back and it’s nice to have free parking, the NEC is ridiculously expensive now. I’ve been going to both NEC shows for years but sadly they aren’t what they used to be, particularly for paper crafts which was what I used to go for.

[@stitchwithrachel]

Yeah the malvern is great for entry price and the parking, I went to the paper craft show about 10 years ago and then last year, I was disappointed and thought maybe my taste had change but after you've said that, I think maybe not. Parking is just as much as the ticket price, crazy really!

[@traceybartlam7737]

@@stitchwithrachel I don’t think it’s your tastes. Years ago there were so many good stands, good companies selling quality items. They’ve dwindled over the years to almost none left now sadly. Mum and I would struggle to fit it in in one day, especially March with the sewing and papercrafting but not anymore. It’s a shame. I’m still probably going to the next one though, just pre pay parking as slightly cheaper!

[@sheilamiller1002]

Malvern Spring show was always one of my favourites, and I haven’t been able to go for a while, so I really enjoyed your lovely video. Thank you. I am impressed that you kept to some sort of budget, I never can😂.

[@stitchwithrachel]

It's very difficult to stick to a budget! I hope you get to return soon.

[@monarashed8906]

I was so delighted just watching the fabric and the colors and the designs. surely, I would LOVE to go there and see and ask and buy 🤩😍🥰

[@marty9011]

There were fabulous fabrics at that quilt show, all very tempting.

[@stitchwithrachel]

Too tempting!

[@dweb9409]

Canada here. Love to listen to your channel. A fabric store is like a candy shop to me. Love your enthusiasm for fabric and projects.

[@judyzeigler3980]

You did good I think on your purchase. Not bad at all. Enjoy stitching. I love your videos. You are always so upbeat. I love that. You make me smile. Have a wonderful day.

[@laurelb8372]

Love the colours in those fat quarters plains, so pretty

[@sandrat8238]

I was there yesterday too, and brought the liberty jelly roll from Doughties that you picked up in this video and a kit from Mandy Shaw, it was a lovely day there, it always is at Malvern

[@stitchwithrachel]

I bet you got some lovely things! I loved that blue liberty jelly roll, I've previously brought a fat eighth bundle of the fabrics and they are such lovely prints. Enjoy your purchases!

[@pamlacey136]

What fun to get to go to a quilt show!! Such gorgeous products.

[@maryt2887]

That was a feast for the eyes!

[@janicec2087]

Your filming of the show was amazing! Enjoyable to watch as you were focusing on the subject and not whirling around. Thank you!

[@stitchwithrachel]

Thank you! I do try and get a good mixture of filming and show you everything that catches my eye up close ❤️

[@rachelqstitches]

The animals are adorable 🥰

[@stitchwithrachel]

I'm so glad!

[@Roxanne-xx9nv]

You make me smile! I think we all knew you wouldn’t stick to the fifty pound budget, but I think you did well. I would have gone a bit crazy at that quilt show, especially at the stand with the Tilda fabrics.

[@stitchwithrachel]

It was so hard to control myself, I tried to buy things that I'd either seen before and wanted or things i'd never seen. The tilda stand was just gorgeous!

[@lynn9286]

Having moved far north I can not get to the Malvern show. So you did a wonderful job showing us all the wonderful stalls. Thank you for giving us all such a treat. lol re £50!

Wow, wish there was a shop like that near where I live in the US!

[@tracyparris-volkner2721]

Lovely video Rachel. I am poorly unable to go so it was so nice to see your footage and purchases. Cowslip workshops is in Cornwall and that's where I get my fabric and do workshops. Perhaps you should come down with your sister. X

[@stitchwithrachel]

I should! A little road trip and have a holiday.. maybe our next retreat

So many cute dolls and the doggie pattern was my favorite. I don't see many patterns like that in the US. Need to travel abroad and do some shopping. Truly enjoy your videos. Thanks for sharing.

[@crumblecrafts2963]

What a treat this was. Loved the variety of things for sale. When I watched the show video I was thinking how much I wanted to pinch Harold’s cheeks, so I was really pleased to see you bought the pattern to make him. I think both dolls will look great in the more colourful outfits.

[@stitchwithrachel]

Hes so cute isn't he! I'll share a video of him when he's finished

[@crumblecrafts2963]

@@stitchwithrachel look forward to seeing him! You asked about the clothing colours, I think he’d look good with different colours trousers and vest.

[@Sewmena918]

You definitely can’t count the birthday gift in the budget. 😊 I love to do embroidery and I have been thinking lately that I would like to incorporate some in a tiny quilt. What a fun time. I have never been to a quilt show. I’m just getting into quilting. Literally finished my first on yesterday.

[@deborahwilson2857]

I love red work, and mixing embroidery with patchwork. I bought a bunch of Tilda fabrics recently (Jubilee line) but am still admiring it until I decide what to make with it.

[@stitchwithrachel]

Tilda is just gorgeous so I don't blame you for admiring it for a while ❤️

[@stitchwithrachel]

Thank you so much!

[@SweetVelvetBuds]

Lovely! Thanks for the tour, very interesting. I might contact some of the retailers, My next project is a wall hanging for my kitchen and the theme is preserves. For that, I need fabrics with fruits and vegetables. I have found some material online, but the fruit is either mixed with something else or very small and not appropriate as the content of preserving jars. I keep on trying. 😊

[@janehargreaves3867]

Great video wish I had been there x

[@TheInappropriateQuilterZaza]

If you need clear vinyl in the future dunelm sell various types of clear vinyl with their patterned vinyl meant for table coverings and it’s really good value

[@marionmathews9852]

That just looks the perfect day for me. I loved all of your purchases. I’ve made a couple of animals from the House of Zandra range. They are easy to do, but very satisfying and the results are delightful. Enjoy them!

[@stitchwithrachel]

I'm glad to hear that they are easy to do, I've started construction and so far so good but I was worried about attaching the limbs incase he looked funky

Loved your video. I live in the U.S. and have never been to a quilt show. It's probably for the best because I have plenty of stash to keep me busy. But I did enjoy your video and seeing your purchases. I am like you - I always go for the pretty prints but never get any solids or low volume fabric and you always need it ❤️❤️❤️❤️

New subscriber here. I love your aesthetic, and am becoming addicted to your channel. It helps me slow down and enjoy the process. I even bought a Liberty jelly roll today called Emily Belle, and it was on sale for $20.00 (yay). Thanks for great videos. I'm a Tilda addict here in sunny California USA.

[@stitchwithrachel]

Hello and welcome to the channel Theresa ❤️ I am so glad that you are enjoying my videos, I hope you enjoy stitching with your jelly roll!

[@TheHawkeyeQuilter]

So enjoyable. The fabric prints you gravitate toward are so "Euro-Vintage"; lovely! Looking forward to seeing the finished animal dolls. Not sure if you've heard of Kate from The Last Homely House there in the UK; she likes EPP also and uses her sewing machine for quilts as well; she went to the Festival of Quilts I think last year. Maybe the two of you will run into each other there this year, or perhaps you'd be interested in a KZbinr meet up and post a video of it on your channels?

[@susanrascone2098]

Was there an actual quilt show or just vendors? You got some beautiful items. It would have been so hard to choose and to stick to a budget. I always go overboard.

Yeah, there was a quilt show with competition quilts but unfortunately I didn't have time to go around that section.
