Exhibition Photo's

Here are some photo's from our exhibition the only quilt that is mine is in the top photo the one on the red wagon, thank you whoever placed it there I think it shows off my quilt nicely. Our exhibition was a great success approx 700 people came to view the quilts and we have had fantastic feedback. So all that hard work has paid off. Now we all need to catch up on some sleep

Quilt Show this Weekend

Quilt Show this weekend 15-16-17th October 2010

Blossom and Roses

Just a quick look at part of the garden I think the only part you can't see any weeds. Why do they grow so fast I wonder?

Painted Sky

I am working on this piece of work with the photo of my Grandson extended out to make a western scene. I am excited about my piece of painted sky. I am hoping to get this finished for our exhibition in October check out below and see the details of the Show

Sewing on a stormy day

Look at the foot on my treadle! I have a walking foot on so I can do some quilting, it does look a bit funny. Anyway on this cold stormy day it is perfect to stitch using my treadle sewing machine. You can achieve 3 things by using a treadle, save power, have exercise and keep warm.
Lucy is blobbing out for the day! Well she was until the thunder hit.

The white fabric under her is a very small UFO from many years ago, I thought if I bring it out and leave it hanging around I may get it finished, only problem is the hand quilting is not quite finished. I have not hand quilted for many years, I am into speed quilting and you can only do that by machine.

Back in Time

A Challenge Quilt I have done as it is in the section not to be judged I thought it would be OK to blog about it. We had to use 4 fabric's from a pack we purchased for $5 the theme was" Back in Time" and also had to have a 9 patch visible. We could also use another 6 fabric's of our own choice. It did have a size restriction which I found a bit tricky as I think it needs a border, maybe I can add one after the "EXHIBITION"
