Cherrybrook Quilters Exhibition

I know that I am late in posting these images but time has slipped away from me.
These ladies at Cherrybrook Quilters just put on such an amazing show, all the way from their amazing quilts (so much talent in this group) right down to their wonderful morning teas.
The floral arrangements are always just perfect too.
If you missed this exhibition then I am sorry you will have a few years to wait for the next one. And you can see why with the work that goes into these quilts. Hand piecing and hand quilting feature in this group which is lovely to see. But along with these techniques there are also wonderful machine piecing and awesome quilting.
In the mean time I hope you enjoy these.

The hand quilting in Nola's quilt (above) is just wonderful.

Over 100 hours of custom machine quilting in this Dear Jane quilt.

The top is all hand pieced.

This is Margaret's version of the Sundial Quilt.

This amazing quilt is all pieced by hand over papers.

I think the best version I have seen.

Karen Mathews amazing wedding quilt!

And of course this is my stand with two new quilts in progress (on the back wall) which will be available in 2014.

Circa 1865

How wonderful it is to have that cooler weather....and its so fresh and clean after that little bit of much needed rain.

There is no doubt that the clean air certainly makes me want to do more.

Here is a little peak at my latest little quilt that will be available next year as a pattern.

She is all basted up and ready for quilting. Hopefully I will be able to start this during October when I am taking a much needed break away.

I have really enjoyed making this quilt. It has easy machine piecing and applique and if you wanted you could make it bigger. My inspiration came from a picture of a crib quilt made in 1865, maker unknown.

I am going to use this pretty perle 12 thread to shadow quilt the flowers and YLI quilting thread for the rest of the shapes.

Just arrived are lovely new fabrics........Pin Money by Pam Buda

And Romantic Olde Charleston by Judy Rothermel.

If you are looking for fussing cutting fabric then these would be just wonderful.

All are available now in Fat Packs or by the metre.

Arcadia Quilters

Last weekend I was lucky enough to be invited to Arcadia Quilters who this year held their exhibition at the Galston Community Centre. In the past they have held their event at Swanes Nursery at Galston but this new venue had the most wonderful atmosphere.
