More AQC & a Package in the Mail

Here are some more pics from the AQC

Kim McLean was the featured artist and her quilts were magnificent.  This one is called Lollypop tree.  The colours are so vibrant!

Stars & Sprigs

All Of Kim McLean's quilts were magnificent and I was so grateful to see them "in the flesh".

This quilt is called Trinity Hall by Susanne Cody, another famous Australian quilter.  I loved this quilt for many reasons, one of which is how she has displayed the beautiful toile fabric in the centre.

I loved how Susanne Cody used little hexagons for her initials in the quilt.

I am just starting to get into fussy cutting and I found it interesting how quilters can see something in a piece of fabric that will create a stunning piece of applique like the flower above.

Ancient Watercourse by Gloria Loughman.  This quilt was the Rajah Winner in 2009

These are my purchases that I came home with, the most special being the V & A Museum book.

And this yummy parcel arrived for me on Tuesday.  I won a prize from Mayleen.  She had a guessing competition on her blog regarding an old hexagon quilt and I won!  Thank you Mayleen, it was great fun.

Well this has been another mammoth post for me.  Some people (Howard & Nic!) in this house have been watching far too many U Tube videos and as a result have used up all our download credit and we have been slowed down.  It has taken nearly two hours to upload these photos but not to worry, I have been stitching some of Swan Lake while waiting.
