The Melbourne Craft and Quilt Fair 2010


Yesterday was spent at the Melbourne Craft and Quilt Fair, where I met up with family and craft friends.  I managed to stash some fabrics, play with dream sewing machines as well as be inspired by the colors and techniques of the quilts on display.  I thought I'd show you some of the highlights of my day starting with the my favorite:


King David's Modern Crown by Karen from Quilts on Bastings

Karen's quilt - Kind David's Modern Crown - was entered in the Long Arm section of the Exhibition and was awared a Runners Up Ribbon.  You can see  more pictures of this quilt on Karen's Blog.  I think we were both equally excited about this wonderful achievement!

Texas Star by Sandra Boyle
Hand pieced and hand quilted

Twenty Ten by Susan Pepper
 This is only a snippet of the quilt - I just loved the unique technique and use of fabric
