Sydney Craft Show

So glad I made the effort to go to the Sydney Quilt Show this year. The red and white quilt exhibit was as good as I hoped. So many beautiful and inspirational quilts. We were able to take photos but not reproduce them without permission, so I'm sorry, I only have a general photo of the exhibit.

I met up with Julie and Kylie. We had a lovely time checking out all the stands and encouraging each other to spend money..........great friends to have! I'll show you my goodies in another post.

I found lots of mini inspiration, my absolute favourite was this superb 1/4" hexie flower garden quilt by the extremely talented Lorraine at Patchwork Plus. The red pathways make a nice change from neutrals. I also got to see Elenor Jean in person, it was exquisite. 


I would love to stay at home and play with my purchases tomorrow, but alas, I have to go to work......but it's going to be a good weekend!

    That looks interesting, I haven't heard of not being allowed to put photos on the internet without permission before......will have to be careful when next I go to a show!! That mini is beautiful.

    It's such a shame that we didn't know each other were there! A cuppa and a chat would have been nice! Xox
