Quilt In Bacchus Marsh

 Yesterday Maria and I went up to Bacchus Marsh to attend the Quilt In there, the speaker was Leesa Chandler, there were lots of pop up shops, I got to catch up with Tracee and most of the City Girls, Marina unfortunately couldn't come but she was there in spirit 😀

Well blogger has reversed all my photos for some reason, one of the Thought Bubble blocks, slowly progressing

another Thought Bubble block

Leesa Chandler and one of her quilts, her talk about producing her fabric line was very interesting.

Marina went with Elyte to make a cuppa

She had a chat with Barb

did some fabric shopping

enjoyed some chocolate, she had a busy day actually!! 😂



I did get an almost group photo, but the ladies were all listening and looking to the stage. Not good timing on my part!

a beautiful quilt seen during show and tell.
Some serious looking conversation happening with Robyn and Maria.

The quilt covered car out the front - once we saw this we knew we were in the right place. We had a great day and managed to get in and out of the car between rain showers. 

I am progressing with the Aussie hero Quilt, the pieces are all pinned in place, it has been sandwiched and it currently being quilted. I am attaching the pieces using free range quilting, so the attaching and quilting happens at the same time. I like the way the body pieces puff up as you sew them.
I had better be off and do some more on the panda.
Happy stitching.

  6. OMG! Barb was there! We were blogger mates for several years and we managed to meet up few times. We lost touch recently. Lisa Chandler had a shop in Mentone I think. She had beautiful Japanese fabrics. That was eons ago lol. I love your thought bubbles, especially the bunny. Looks like it was a fun day. I think I will try emailing Barb again now.

  11. Oh wow Sue. I could have dropped by to say hi as we were around that area driving about. From Gisborne to Balkan and Ballarat and back to Kyneton. I’m sure you enjoyed your day.

    Your thought bubbles look great, next time we meet in person you'll have to show them and how they will finish up.
