I am just back from a wonderful weekend in Lille - lots of shopping and good food. What more could one ask for.
Here are some photographs of the local architecture
A magical courtyard near the Opera where they were holding a book fair
A typical street scene - notice all the cobbles - they are absolutely everywhere.
The west facade of the main church which has been totally rebuilt over the years. A great use of modern design to complement the mediaeval church.
Fantastic decorative detail on lots of the buildings
I could so move in here tomorrow.
Just love the charcoal grey paint.
Slightly made building and there were huge plants behind the first floor window giving a Day of the Tryffids look.
This was created by filling in one of the many canals to create a small lake where there were locals fishing.
Just loved the detail on the pavement in one of the main streets - perhaps I should have copied it entirely for my racing track quilt.
On the sewing front, I managed to find two quilting shops and another full of buttons and beads - but more of that tomorrow.
Spent a lovely day hand appliqueing the third block of my Roseville quilt. I should be able to finish it this weekend.
More photographs tomorrow but on a different theme.
