Malvern and other things.

It was the Autumn quilt show at Malvern last weekend,,, and I went. I bought a few buttons for a hat, and some fabric,, no photos as it will be used in a gift for some one and not sure if they read this. It was a busy day for the traders when I went on Sunday. I had a look around the stalls,, and then the quilts. Here are a few that caught my eye,,,

 This one is so much better to see 'in the flesh'.

I have finished my DHs' Beanie,,,,

                                                 It has yet to be worn!!!
And this is mine,, the buttons are tiny,, but they are needed for the full affect.

The pattern is Owl Hat by Jennie Powell,, from the Ravelry website.

And because I like the 'frames' on my camera, this was a picture taken at Chepstow Castle,,,,

I think it makes a wonderful magazine cover.

That was the last of the castles,,, then we had a quick look at Llandudno,,, we got there quite late in the day and I didn't take any pictures.

Day 5 was travelling home day,,,,we stopped off at a cafe that sold little wooden moving 'toys',,,
