Happy Australia Day

Hope everyone who celebrates this wonderful day has a good one.  

Congratulations to my friend Tatjana who became an Australian Citizen today, and we were privileged

to witness her taking her oath.

My most excellant weekend

I have just spent the last three amazing days stitching and shopping and having a great time with like minded people.  BE WARNED - PHOTO HEAVY POST

First of all, Saturday I went to the Proserpine Quilt Show and Tell, were we got to see some amazing quilts and got to shop, and chat with so many quilting friends. Here is some eye candy, I actually took so many photo's but these were ones that really caught the eye.

 Interesting use of colour

 Bargello work

 Yes it's crazy quilted, but machine done.

 Adapted 1800 quilt

 More Bargello....

 She had to extend this to make it fit her bed, oh what a shame... not

Love the colours of this one.
The group that hosted the event do some amazing charity work:
Yes that's me....

And my winnings... I got a lucky door prize:

And my shopping......

And then back to Eva's house overlooking Shute harbour...... this is our stitching table

The view

And some stitching:

 Our stockings for the Lion's swap, mine is the blue and silver and Eva's is the black, red and white one.

And then some show and tell of our own:  Eva (purple one) and Alison's (White one) TAST pieces:

 They have every stitch since Sharon started at the beginning of this year.

And Alison's amazing hexagon hand quilted quilt.

Thank you Eva and Alison for an amazing weekend, I look forward to coming down again in November for some more stitching.....Arlene
