Let the Show Begin and Short Blog Holiday

A view of the N.S.W. Quilters Guild Show. There were a couple more rows underneath me but I didn't want to risk a dive over the balcony. It was an excellent show The year of Dear Jane quilts and an on going love of Japanese prints.
I met up with Rachel and we had a lovely get to know each other in person. So much fun when you meet a blogger buddy.



This incredible quilt is a tribute to Margaret Preston. Margret was an early 20Th C Australian

printer.

The quilt is amazing. I took the photo before the prizes were awarded but it took out 4 I think including Best of Show and Hangers Award

The Gang Gang won 1St place Art Quilts.

I took the photos early and even then had to struggle with enthusiastic admires.

Subsequently I missed the names of the Quilters. Apologies

Shopping ?


The show was excellent so glad I went. I will be having a week holiday in Vanuatu while D.H. and I enjoy our Ruby Wedding Anniversary.


All of you do something for your self and something for a loved one over the next few days.

Hug to all Terry

Over the Rainbow

Wondering what I'd find at the end of the rainbowI packed my swag.



The gorgeous rainbow was early Friday morning. Nature started the day out right and I accomplished something good.


I completed my quilt for Japan.

The weekend has been a good one. Lots of cooking and sharing love and laughter with my family.



Sunday Lunch celebrated Wayne's and my 40Th Wedding Anniversary. Real date is next Sunday. In September we will have been in Australia for 40 years. A good 40 years.






Enjoy your week and the Quilt Show if your in Sydney. Terry
