Some Eye Candy

Last Thursday I went to the Quilt Show in Melbourne and here are some of the photos I took of quilts that impressed me. There was a Challenge also on to make a quilt from the Australian book The Fabric of Society by Annette Gero. The first 4 quilts were in the challenge.
This one really caught my eye, as you will see I photographed both, of the same quilt, made by 2 different people.

 This is the Auntie Green quilt, the one I am making just now.

 and this was another one. It had one less border of flowers and was light bright with more modern looking flowers. Both were beautiful. It was so nice to see someone else's interpretation of the quilt I am making just now.

Just a few subtle changes from the first one and they were both lovely.

The Civil War Brides quilt, in blue, stunning.

This quilt was made by Ester Elui and was wonderful. It has been a free pattern over the last few months on her blog and will now be for sale.

This Applique quilt was lovely. It was the pink ripple line on off white fabric that had been used for the background that caught my eye. I always like different background fabric and this one was very effective.

After looking at the quilts, Bev and I walked round all the traders. I bought some fabric, a BOM pattern, a small halogen book lamp which can also stand on a work table and runs on batteries, which will be taken to sewing days away from home.  We met lots of friends doing the same as us and had a great day out.
