Last weekend I went to Sydney
for the weekend with my husband. On
Saturday morning we went to the Quilt Show.
We both agreed that it was the best show in Sydney we have attended. The quilts were so inspiring.
It was with pleasure I saw my quilt Ruled by Chocolate
hanging there. As it won Best in Show in
Victoria last
year, it travels around the country this year along with all the other Best in
Show quilts, which is such an honour.
Here is a photo of my quilt with the quilt show in the
background. If you want to see close up

It wasn’t until I got home that I realised that I also
managed to include on the left of the photo a lovely shot of Rachelle Denney’s
gorgeous wholecloth quilt. Luckily I
also took a photo of the quilt information for this quilt.
I usually don’t spend too much time at at the vendors when I
go to a quilt show as I find the crowds off putting, but I wanted to find a
present for a friend. I also ended
up buying some fabric for myself – I just couldn’t resist.
After we left the show, Paul and I stopped for lunch and of
course I had to pull out and play with my fabric purchases. I was unaware Paul snapped this photo of me.
In my hand I am holding the roll of Kofu fabric which will be a gift for someone
special (she knows who she is, so if she is reading this blog I bet she is
zooming in for a close up on the fabric right now).
I was in Japan
several years ago and was lucky enough to attend a quilt show there. I loved the Sakizomemomen fabrics and bought
some. When I saw more at the Sydney show I couldn’t
pass by adding to my collection in the same shades as what I had at home.
Here is a picture of the fabric I purchased in Japan.
