Sunbury Stitchers & Quilters Quilt Show - June 2014.....

This weekend just past saw the Sunbury Stitchers and Quilters hold their quilt show, the theme of which was 'Old Days, New Ways', and what an enjoyable morning I had visiting the show. A group of friends - Sue, Tracee, Marg, Marina, Elyte, Robyn, Ann and Jo - and myself had a great time chatting, laughing, looking at quilts, enjoying a delicious devonshire tea, buying fabric, and generally having a lovely time. Afterwards it was off to the Olive Tree Hotel in Sunbury for some lunch.

As Sue has done two extensive posts on the show, I have just included some of my favourite quilts here. I also have to thank Sue for providing these photos, as my camera appeared to have died while we there, after I had only taken 3 photos - most frustrating!!

I always love a quilt with some stars...

this quilt was just stunning - as Sue says on her blog,

the photo does not do it justice...

a tumbler quilt made by my friend Carolyn - I love the colours...

a gorgeously colourful mini by my friend Annie...

another favourite combination of colours...

just love this mini, also by Annie - stars and houses, two of my favourite quilt blocks... this quilt was tiny, maybe 10" x 12", or 12" x 14"?

a lovely clamshell quilt...

this two-colour quilt looked amazing...

another of Carolyn's quilts made from Irene Blanck's pattern 'Floral Beauty'...

an amazing 'Dear Jane' quilt...

and another of Carolyn's quilts - this was made in a Round Robin which I was also a part of... just love this quilt of Carolyn's... well, all of Carolyn's quilts really lol!

Carolyn also arranged an amazing display representing the theme of Old Days, New Ways, and Sue has quite a few photos of this on her blog, it was really clever.
