I had a wonderful time at the
Victorian Quilters Showcase last week, I loved looking at the wonderful quilts, catching up with friends and of-course doing some shopping.
Best of Show was won by
Sugy Kim with her original, machine pieced and hand quilted quilt named
Colourful Retina.

For some reason the background looks white but it was actually a pale pink, it must have been something to do with the lighting when I took the photo.

Here are a couple of the pictorial quilts; I loved this turtle especially as I am into under the sea quilts at the moment. I am actually making a quilt with a turtle and I think Karen's is much better. She's a young, enthusiastic quilter and one to watch in the future.

My photo doesn't do this quilt justice; it is by long-arm quilter
Ramona Resurreccion. The white centre is a vintage table-cloth and I always think of my friend Gina who collects vintage linens when I see this done. You can see Gina's blog and her posts about vintage linens
Here Her blog is called
Patra's Place of Stitching and Vintage Linens
