Thank you SIT ...

Unfortunately this year will be a short and sharp visit to FOQ for me as

A) the organisers have gone and brought it forward a week ... WHY?????
B) my good friends and lovely neighbours are getting married after 30 years together ... and that Im not going to miss!!

So I will only be going on the Thursday...  :(   

I will be organising group tickets for peeps as in previous years ... if we can reach the magic number of 10 takers!  :)

No darling (  @maliw )

and Im only going for ONE day ... seethe ... as they've changed their week and it conflicts with a wedding (on the FRIDAY Grrrrr) I will not miss!

Does anyone know WHY theyve changed the dates ??!!!

I will still be offering Group tickets at the discounted rate of £13 (adult) + a small postage fee per transaction so please do remember if you want to visit FOQ this year, this is the cheapest ticket you can purchase so do buy from TSP.

@Iminei No idea why the date has been changed unless there is something else on at the NEC the following week. I can't ask Phyl if she wants to go as she is in France until next week but I'm in very little doubt that if she is around in August she will come with me otherwise I may just have to drag DH along!!!!!!!!!! -<

Wow - some of the workshops are popular!

Booking opened for Quilters Guild members at 10am and by the time I found the workshop I wanted, there were only 5 places left. It had sold out by 10.15am.

But you got in ????

Which one have you chosen?

I think peeps peruse the list (if released earlier) or peruse last years lists and choose their preferred class or teacher and go for it as soon as they are released
