AQC

Today I have been into the city on the train, which is good as sitting in the train gives you sewing time!!
Circles and one star I finished on the train trip today.
I met Donna at the Exhibition Centre and off we went.
There were so many beautiful quilts to look at today...will do a few today and more tomorrow I think
love this approach to the Exhibition buildings thru the park

Love the fabrics and the hexies here


this fantasy bird was made with raw edge quilting after the pieces had been glued on, the organza along the bottom of the quilt creates a reflection in the water.

Cats, cats and more cats!

Loved this for the shapes and quilting and colours




Aren't these quilts just beautiful?

and the quilting here is amazing!

Loved this quilt showing a bit of Tibet ( I think), maybe Northern India where the Dalai Lama now lives..

and this one was in India, the quilting is beautiful

and the beads for the water just stunning

the Dalai Lama was in the previous quilt

the decorations on these ladies was beautiful too.
After I left Donna, I wandered about the park behind the Museum and found two geocaches.
the park here is beautiful. love the big old trees
once the caches were found I walked back to Southern Cross Station...4 km and it took me just over 48 mins. I was pretty tired once I got to the train station and happy to sit on the train!!
Must fire up for FNWF now...well maybe after dinner!!
Are you asleep now??
Happy stitching.
