Some more items from the Quilt Show. The next two quilts I photographed because of the work involved making them.
I'm not a great fan of hexagons but the border was magnificent .
This quilt with the blue looked so different from a basket quilt I had seen with cream as the setting squares. To me the border and the blue seems to drown all the beautiful little baskets.
The next two Art quilts. Quite appealing I thought.
Now for my buys.
I stopped at Threadbear and bought some 'blues' for the Judie Rothermel quilt in this month's Quilter's Companion magazine.
I just had to buy this book by Natalie Bird to get the pink rabbit pattern. This is for the Grand daughter due in August and then I had to shop at the Quilted Crow from Tasmania to get pink felted wool to make her. Isn't she adorable.
and while I was there I couldn't resist these beauties.
A visit to the Thread Studio got me another skein of silk to finish off my 2nd knitted bag which is a larger size than the the one below that I made last year.
These should keep me busy for a while.

I agree about the border for the baskets. It's jsut too much for the cute baskets.
Beautiful quilts and I do love the hexagons. Nice buys, will be wonderful to work with.
