Sydney Quilt Show – Part 1

Paul and I flew up to Sydney for the weekend.  We went to see Mary Poppins at the Capitol Theatre on the Saturday night, but the highlight of the weekend, and the primary reason for the trip, was to go to the Quilt Show.

There were many beautiful quilts, and over the next few posts I would like to share some with you that I found particularly appealing.

This stunning quilt by Helen Godden had me spellbound.  These are only a fraction of the photos I took.  It was made from one piece of black fabric, and it was painted and quilted.


This quilt, aptly named Googly Eyes by Catherine Butterworth, really appealed to me.  I love the fabrics, but what I really liked about this quilt was the detail taken in the fussy cutting and appliqué. I also liked the pieced border.

  6. Spectacular quilts!Thanks for sharing them.

    Please tell me that the little white quilt with the black hand print was intended as an illustration of why we shouldn't touch the quilts, & wasn't someone's accident! It made my stomach do a flip-flop when I saw it!
