Yesterday I met up with lovely sewing friends and many, many other sewers at the Geelong Patchwork and Quilters Quilt In. I think there were 305 people there...was a big event!! The first speaker fo rth eday was Cathryn Barbagallo talking about modern quilts, the second was Kathy Doughty from Material Obsession...she was a very interesting person to listen to
Kathy explaining her quilts...

this young lady is so hard to get a photo of...she is sneaky....but lovely.....I have lots of back of heads photos!!! Lol!!
More concentration....

I had a wonderful day, friends from all over gathered for stitching, shopping, swapping, laughter, listening, and a wonderful catch up. Thank you ladies.
Happy sewing.
