more quilting samples ...

Part of a selection of ceramic buttons...just couldnt choose...migranic by this stage...

Fine sample of red work

Rainbow Connection by Angie Wilson, very clever use of fabric ...

Ok....it was amazing , actually migranic when I had to leave ,as. a whole day at the exhibition was nowhere nearly enough time to take in everything on show...here is a sample of what I did manage to see...obviously they were all better in real life, as all quilts are...

Mad Hatter's Tea Party

Made by Ineka Voigt...a hugely talented 13 year old! Let it be known her mother is a master quilter which gives reason for her talent.

Freedom by Helen Godden..master quilter.whole cloth ,hand painted,extreme free motion quilting.

Jenny Bowkers quilt of Margaret Rolfe...both master quilters also.

very upset I only got this photo of a small part of this quilt and have no idea who it's by...the detail blew my brain!!!

applique queen....more on next blog post on this crazy crazy lady!

Off to do some sewing myself !?#!!?....back soonish with a post on the craziest applique and some simpler quilts that were also at the Canberra Quilt show...Maro

Hi Josephine!
We like this quilt too. Maro saw it in a quilt exhibition in Canberra last August. Unfortunately we do not have this pattern. Try googling Angie Wilson or we suggest choosing a backgound fabric of your liking and rainbow colours. Cut 2.5 inch strips. Place as you like and join. Good Luck. Send us some photos. - Nonie
