Melbourne Craft and Quilt Fair

I had a lovely time yesterday at the Fair with these 2 new friends (we have all met in recent months via the Melbourne Modern Quilt Guild).

This is Clair and Rachel taking a quick break from fabric admiration.

I also got to catch up (if rather briefly) with Gina, (and her lovely friend Anna), Nikki, Cathy, Jenny, Lucy and Jen.

I was EXTREMELY proud of myself. I bought NO fabric!!! Just a bit of fusible webbing and some thread.

A very different experience for me.

The actual quilt show offered a huge range of quilts. Hand and machine pieced work, hand quilting as well as machine, applique, art quilts, beginners, old hands, you name it!!!

Here are a few pieces that caught my eye .... (you can click on the images to see more of the details)

Karen Terrens from Quilts on Bastings made this stunning quilt that won second prize for her exquisite machine quilting. It is called King David's Modern Crown.

 Karen also had this gorgeous whole cloth quilt called Crop Circles.

Hope you are having a lovely weekend.
