Canberra Quilt Show

Last Saturday we (Freya, Mum, Scarlett Rose and I) visited the Canberra Quilt Show, some of the quilts that caught my eye, either for their design or their quilting (and there were many examples of extremely intricate quilting!!) shown here:

Winner - and a worthy one - of the '10' challenge:


Details:



Fractured blocks (for some reason my auto focus deserted me for a few shots in the middle of the day!! so apologies for the poor quality, but still worth seeing!!):



Kaleidoscope Quilt and details:






Shattered Glass quilt and details (made by Jenny Bowker):








After the quilt show we went for a late lunch at Mecca Bah in Manuka... not a suburb my sat nav is familiar with... apparently!!  Delicious lunch, thanks Mum :)  Scarlett sporting the jumper and matching hat that her GG knitted for her:




 Afterwards and back at the ranch we wanted to get the 4 generations shot that Dianne suggested... but couldn't find anyone to take it... next week I'll set up the tripod and remote shutter to get the job down... meantime, GG enjoyed a cuddle with Scarlett Rose:


Scarlett has a new activity centre courtesy of Alan and Aleisha, she is very taken with it :)

Get a bigger clothes line OR Make smaller quilts!!

Here are some pics of the quilt I got the binding done on at the Classic Yass weekend.  As you can see if doesnt 'fit' on the clothes line - really got to get a bigger clothes line.. OR make smaller quilts (as if!!)



And some detail shots:






This quilt was made with the fabrics I purchased with the prize money from the Canberra Quilters awards 2 years ago!!
