We're back....

Well, G and I went - we saw - we spent and then looked and looked again... So many gorgeous, stunning, mind shattering, unbelievable quilts... After a while looking at them all became sensory overload... G and I wandered around and for a change I was quite conservative with my money... I did buy some material, a button and and six preprinted stitcheries... G abd I both commented on the abundance of Japanese material considering a few years ago you were lucky to see one stall selling it let alone the the amount of stalls we saw yesterday... G went off to do a workshop on tumbling blocks and I just wandered for the hour... One thing that did capture my interest was the 'Roses from the Heart' display - the link will give you the general idea of what is all about... You could look through lists of convict women and chose a name - I chose Mary Corbett who was 36 and sent to Australia for stealing a quilt... She was a widow with 2 children when she was sent out here... I am looking forward to creating the bonnet a connection between the present to the past... Stay tuned...
Here a just a few quilts which caught my camera lens...
