I can’t believe it is 4 months since I posted. Lots of things have happened ‘quilt wise’ in this time.
The Quilt NSW show displayed lots of beautiful quilts made by members. I had 2 quilts entered in the appliqué section ‘Eternity’ and ‘My Imaginary Garden’. It was a lovely surprise that ‘My Imaginary Garden’ was awarded a judges commendation.
I also had a quilt juried as a finalist in the Houston International Quilt Show this year. ‘Isabel’ is now making her way back home from her holiday to the United States.
I also had the pleasure of being invited to judge the Queensland Quilters Annual Exhibit. It was a lovely experience getting up close and seeing all the creativity and beautifully executed work of their members.
On the home sewing front I have been dabbling with several projects. I have designed another needle turn project, which is slowly growing, with lots of fussy cutting. It is enjoyable seeing it come together.
I also used up some of my stash in an ‘aboriginal print’ inspired pieced quilt. I adapted a design found on Pinterest and machine quilted it on my new Bernina Q20.
I have also been making some small projects, which I started in workshops. I have made several journal covers and have finished some fabric bags. The bags proved a bit fiddly at times, but I am happy with the finished result.
