we were going yesterday, but melbourne produced a terrible day weatherwise and it seemed as though today would be no different, but then the sun came out! off we went to wonga park and quilts in the barn to see the exhibition organised so well by linda and her team of helpers. here is some of what we saw!
i made a new friend instantly and his shadow shows the sun was out and all was well
our driver was already way ahead of us and paying for our entry, he is so good to us girls
the morrell quilt by di ford, jean , i weakened and bought the pattern !
ever since i have been sewing, all my life, i have wanted to make a house quilt ! and i haven't done it yet !
i loved the colours in this, and that is not someone going to slash it with a sword ! part of the props !
the detail of this appliqued beauty was incredible
it is still being quilted
this is a blackbirds design, another house pattern mmmmh !
i loved these gorgeous colours, pink and yellows
and these diamonds were a another favourite, 'drayton hall', again by di ford
and this beautiful echium ! thanks to all concerned, a lovely afternoon spent with friends and the amazing stitching work of a group of women.
threadbear ,at castlemaine has most of the patterns for sale, if like me, you just have to have one or two and thanks to linda for making all this possible !
