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.

Beautiful pieces.
BTW - Such restraint! I am proud of you :)
xo, Kali
Wow Andi, you have photographed pretty much exactly the same quilts that I did. Great minds! And great restraint - I didn't buy any fabric either (although there seem to be two cones of laceweight alpaca and two skeins of silk/mohair in my bag). Glad you enjoyed it - we had a great time today!
'Hidden Winds' does my head in.
In a good way.
Thanks so much Andi!
I am glad you had a great day.
Cheers,
Karen
Thanks for sharing! They are all beautiful!!
Wow! Well done on the no fabric buying bit. The quilts look stunning. That crop circles one is brilliant. X
Hi Andi, I went today and managed to spend just a little bit. Aways a fun day out.
Thanks for a great fun day!
Even from the states...I'm checking up on you!
Nice work x
Awesome quilts! Thanks for showing us. Sounds like a great show.
Thanks for the quilty tour Andi.
I didn't have a chance to go this year (and I was saving some $, and going on a fabric diet) but I now feel like I have seen the highlights.
I am in love with the Crop Circles quilt, I was at the show on the weekend and couldn't stop looking at it, it's amazing.
big pat on the back for you. Not so good for me, I bought tulle on Friday to make Mandy a fairy skirt. In my defense I didn't have anything else suitable and it was all used straight away so never hit the stash.
