What makes a great quilt show?

Lots and lots of quilts that's what - and we had over 150 of them on display.
It's been and gone for another year and what a success it was. No $$ figures just yet.
This post is full of pics from the show so here goes...
Viewers Choice for Friday - Laurelle Krebs

Viewers Choice for Saturday - Jeanette McKechnie
 
and Viewers Choice for Sunday Rachaeldaisy!

I had three quilts in the show - Scrappy Windmills which is a modern version of our raffle quilt.

Fiesta - a riot of NYB blocks

and Ferris Wheel
 
Lots of my students exhibited their work - this is Heather Hacker with her take on Graces Quilt

A few Deco Lamps too - Lorraine Titcume

Susan Dellas

Sandra McConnell

Rachael again with Emperors Wheel

Lorraine with Hatchet

Bronwyn's Chocolate Stars

Rachael's Supernova

Judy's Deco lamp
 
Pam's Dahlia

Mandy with another Deco Lamp. All great quilts that added to the magnificent display.

Two quilts really caught my eye - this was made of men's ties and was a real bugger to  display!
It was made by Barbara Thomas and was a real treat to examine closely.

And this is Rachael Caruana's - The Fall. Wonderful small quilt.
Look at the leaves on his tie!
There are more blog posts about the show here and here  with lots of pictures.
All in all it was a fabulous three days as you would know if you attended the show.
A bit of a rest for all the committee and it's full steam ahead with next year's 10th exhibition.
If you live in the Blue Mountains area I hope you'll have a quilt in!

  5. Wow - they are all just stunning. I particularly like the Dahlia one, and of course, your scrappy windmills. The ties are a bit of a talking point too - never seen that before! xCathy
