I had a great day out yesterday at the Brisbane Quilt show. It was like old home week running into lots of friends....Ann, Diane, Sue, Fionna, Lynda and lunch with
SUSAN and
FIONA
Fiona and I had arranged to meet up for the day and we managed to lead each other astray. I did bring some treasures home....
A lovely Sashiko kit which I have been drooling over as my friends have stitched them.....needles, which resulted in lovely fabrics sticking to the needles lol!
Some pretty French General and French Linen pieces too.
A little bag of secret goodies....
There were so many beautiful quilts on display but unfortunately this year photography was prohibited so you will have to take my word for it.
But I was a very happy stitcher when I fell into bed last night with a head swimming with beautiful things.
Speaking of beautiful things, I have sewn the binding down on my Gardener's Journal quilt. It was another quilted by clever friend
FIONA
I am so pleased with the beautiful quilting .
Love the pretty vines and leaves.....perfect for a Gardener's quilt.
Lots of sweet details....
The only thing left to do is write on the label.
I am so happy to have finally stitched 2 of my favourite Anni Downs quilt designs....its only taken me years and years! But I got there eventually!
I have one more quilt collected from Fiona that needs binding too.
So of course that means that I am allowed to do new things....
Last night some tiny hexies were sewn!
And I am looking forward to getting back to my design..."Wings and Pretty Things "
Have a lovely day folks.
Namaste and Blessings Michelle xxx

ReplyDeleteYou did very well with your purchases and I love the quilting on your quilt. I went yesterday to the quilt show, had fun and was exhausted after a few hours. It seemed smaller than previous years but still wonderful to attend. Guida
