Toowoomba Quilters Quilt Show

As promised a wee taste of the lovely quilts Fiona and I saw yesterday.
This first one was amazing. The maker gave all her friends a block and permanent markers and asked them to design a block. The result was beautiful. We thought the design was in the fabric.
EPP! Of course I loved it!
This quilt was so rich in colour and very pretty. My photo does not do it justice.
The little red corners on the blocks are cathedral windows...very striking!
This one was just so sweet! There was also a display of small art hangings. Two of them I really loved. This one with the Foxgloves...
  and this little beauty with the spiderweb...
 The club had a challenge using two fabrics and an owl theme. Our very own Fiona had the loveliest entry.
I really liked it before i even knew it was hers as there were no names attached to them....
There is a little story on the back...
Wonderful display!
You know being a stitcher is a journey. Whether you have just stepped on to the path or you have been wandering along it for ages. It doesn't matter. If our hearts and minds are open we can always learn something new or be inspired by another. Being a stitcher is a wonderful thing and we should embrace each others efforts and creativity and celebrate that fact.
So Bless all of my lovely fellow stitchers out there "may your thread be plentiful and your needles sharp"
Thank you to my lovely sister in stitching Fiona for a fabulous day!
Namaste and Blessings,
Michelle xxx

  15. LOVE the foxglove quilt – one of the most amazing 3D pieces Ive seen . And the spiderweb is so creative . How do people come up with these ideas. The limit of my imagination is confined to fabric choice...

    Fiona’s challenge quilt is amazing !

  16. I just love Fiona's owl challenge quilt. It is so different from the others, like gods in an ancient temple. The friend quilt was one of my favourites as well, the fabrics with their marker pen designs so effective.
