My first (and only) quilt teacher made a quilt of precisely that floor;
and it might explain why I love making quilts of those floors. They are so beautiful; and the patterns used by those medieval tilers are so similar to quilt patterns. The ones that I have done so far will, in time, I hope be supplemented by two of the Cosmati floor in the sanctuary of Bristol Cathedral (much more modern - but same style). I have completed one of them so far. .. In message , Sally Swindells writes Oh that beautiful tiled floor! I googled Images and Cosmati pavement Westminster Abbey. -- Best Regards Pat on the Green |

I've just been doing exactly the same thing.
And... yes, of course I watched it in the end, despite all my protestations otherwise. And the dress was gorgeous and elegant and the flowers (lily of the Valley) were understated and, no doubt, fragrant, and the pomp and ceremony made me proud to be British. We can put on a good show when the chips are down. The lace was hand made by the Royal School of Embroidery and Needlework based in Hampton Court. Some of those hats, however, were astounding, in all the wrong ways. Princess B and Mrs Beckham particularly come to mind. Posh just HAD to have a tart-string, somewhere didn't she? Kate should love the dress, I think. Very fifties and plain, simplicity and fitting taking over from bling and flounces. There is no-ne worse than a convert, and that's me. OK?

I shall have to look up the hats... I don't make hats, you know... Kate should love the dress, I think. Very fifties and plain, simplicity and fitting taking over from bling and flounces. I do. I thought is damned near perfect. In style quite like Princess Margaret's wedding gown (the epitome of elegance). I see Arr Kate took my advice about a plain veil... ![]() There is no-ne worse than a convert, and that's me. OK? Natural gas?

Natural gas?
That shows our age, lass! My first (and only) quilt teacher made a quilt of precisely that floor; and it might explain why I love making quilts of those floors. Last year, I spent a while rubbing floors and taking photos of Bootham Park Hospital in York. The most beautiful floors, walls and ceilings. I shall be making a quilt of that as my next project. Also, look out for photos of St Mark's in Venice for a real show- stopper. Nel (Gadget Queen) |

Nel =D (Gadget Queen) Was Princess B the one with that very strange contraption on her head that looked like something from a Dr. Seuss illustration? It was brownish and had these swirly things that stood up from the front of the hat -- looked like they were at least 12" high! Those swirly things looked like the cartoon swirls someone would draw over a cup of steaming cocoa. I saw the hat as the girls were getting out of their car and walking into Buckingham Palace with their Father. Odd -- very odd -- to say the least. CiaoMeow ^;;^ PAX, CiaoMeow ^;;^ |

Though her dress suits her very well indeed. What I want to know though is who let her sister out of the house dressed like that? From the pictures I have seen it appears that she is wearing a churchlady blouse from wally world with a largish heating pad wrapped around her waist. Either those are very poor photos or there had ought to be some changes in household staff! Someone did a bad job of picking it, or someone is not telling her the truth about how her clothes look on her. I got a look at Mrs. Beckham, next to the royals she is the one I keep an eye on so far as clothes. I don't quite know what to make of her selection. I am all but leaping for joy over the wedding gown. I didn't expect her to go with a floating meringue, but I also didn't expect her to get anywhere close to what I would have suggested. Oh and the lace! people will be asking for carrickmacross now! It is one of the simpler laces to make. I can have fun lazing about working motifs that I have wanted to play with and then using them later. ![]() NightMist -- I'm raising a developmentally disabled child. What's your superpower? |

If I could have been there, I would have had the most outrageous hat
and the most amazing dress and would have loved every single second of being a total upper-upper-crust snob. Sunny (the neckline of her dress is almost exactly like the neckline of the wedding dress my mom made for me) |
