Quilt show




Last week was the Craft and Quilt show in Brisbane, wow  what an amazing array of beautiful quilts. I feel quite inspired as I head off to a craft retreat this weekend. Here are some quilts to share,
I have to admire the 1800 leaves, I have no patience with needle turn applique, and my efforts are not very neat, this quilt was just stunning and possibly my favourite.

I also made quilt which I started in the Bundy floods last Christmas, strangely it was also a half square triangle quilt.


Above is a collage of some of my favourites, the beautiful log cabin won best in show. 

Finally this Baltimore quilt was exquisite, the piecing, quilting and border were amazing. I've done a border like this (badly) in clay on the edge of a bowl and never thought about something so detailed on a quilt.

Hope you enjoyed a few pics
