I went out to another wonderful quilt show on the weekend. Is it me, or is it the building...I'll have to go out and check, but it always looks like it is on a lean when I take a photo of that building!!
and of course I wasn't disappointed
more about the bicycle later...
the quilt above was done by a friend for her friend overseas...made especially with materials depicting Australian native plants.
the quilt above I thought was quite spectacular, I loved the random placements of flowers that were freestanding
and of course the one above was interesting too...based on the statue of liberty
in fact there were very many that I enjoyed...
especially this one.....
I just love these flowers...
but then
strelitzia always grab me
just amazing some of these works...all of them...
back to the bicycles....again there was a group WHISPERS challenge where one person in a group of six quilters was shown a photo (this year a photo of a bicycle in a garden)...
then the others one by one see that person's rendition of it in patchwork in turn and do their own interpretation...(I love that this one is quite topical at the moment...hooray for Australian Cadel Evans who is just this morning enjoying his win in the Tour de France)
of course, once someone did the tour de france bicycles, I guess it was an easy stretch to the Les Folies Bergeres ...
of course some didn't stay with the bicycles, but imagined where the owner was or what they were doing...
the one above was of imagining where there were lots of bicycles...in this case Oxford or Cambridge
not quite sure how we got to this wonderful sunset, but I am glad they did...very nice..
gosh, it must be time for a spot of refreshment...lovely, thankyou..
All in all a great show, just sad I missed the jazz...it wasn't on till the next day! Oh well, maybe next year for the jazz too!
