I often write posts about 'my old schoolfriends' and this weekend, there was a quilt show for a patchwork group that one of my former school mates belongs to. Three of us decided to support Jan and her fellow quilters, by attending the show yesterday morning. We had a wonderful time looking at all the beautiful quilts, and as photos were allowed, we took quite a few photos too! The first photo that I tried to take, my camera didn't seem to want to turn on...then I remembered...the battery was still at home in the charger. I'd forgotten to put it back in the camera. Luckily my phone takes quite good photos :-)

There were a number of local patchwork shops represented , which were selling lots of goodies such as fabrics, kits, patterns and other patchwork accessories |
|
Some of the handbag patterns that were for sale... |
|
Another pattern for sale was this baby donut :_) |
|
This was a 'Cathedral Window' quilt just near the entry |
|
Two friends (and fellow bloggers) were also at the show, Cheryl and Lynda |
|
This was one of the two quilts that our friend Jan entered into the show, 'Florabunda'; it is magnificent! |

My friend Jane took a closeup of the label on Jan's 'Florabunda' quilt giving details of the pattern designer and the who did the quilting (Suzan Saliba)

Our entry also entitled us to refreshments in a lovely undercover area to one side of the hall. Whom should I meet there (no pics) but my SIL and BIL and
Judie Bellingham...(Judie is the organiser of Sisters of Stitch, a quilter and a quilting judge to name just a few of her roles)
