More Country Quilting

Ok, shall try and finish the previous blog.  Thought I would show you the detail of the individual block designs in this quilt.  A lovely little "peeper" border in there too.

Today we were visiting the Injune Information Centre, when I found that the local quilting group was meeting nearby.  Needless to say, I left the other half and ventured over to say hello and get my "quilting fix" for the day.

What a lovely group of ladies - and so lucky to have such a great place to meet.  I was able to view lots of quilts, which were all absolutely gorgeous.  So different in the various colours.

What did catch my eye though was some stitchery pieces ready to be placed into a quilt.  The design is by Rosalie Quinlan - Best Friends (group of 8 designs), and as my "magic bag" friend does a lot of stitchery, I thought I would capture these and send them to her.  Do hope the Inune ladies don't mind.

This block looks like coming together in "my" colours, so couldn't resist a picture of it as well.

Well done ladies and thank you for my "fix".  I will be right now for a little while longer.

Will have to show you the last of the quilts in the "magic bag", but will save that for another day.

Happy quilting everyone.

For those of you who aren't aware, I am away at the moment.  Yes, I know, you wanted it yesterday.  So sorry.  Hope you can wait until I return.  Let me know if you have been waiting and I will do something special for you!!!

Although it is under protest, I do manage to get to see some quilt shops so thought I would share them with you, just in case you happen to be in the area.

First stop was at Moree and we were lucky (for me) to find a quilt show on in town.  Hope the ladies don't mind, but I took some photos and thought I would share them with you.  

Firstly, the Moree Quilt, which is on display in the Information Centre.

Then as we walked around the town to view the old buildings (some of Art deco design), we ventured into the quilt show.  Here are just a few of the quilts that appealed to me.

Sorry, the photos aren't the best.  Did the best I could though on my phone.

There was an interesting treatment on the border of the "caterpillar" quilt.  Hope the photo below shows it.  The triangles in the corners on the border were actually not attached, but were "suspended" above the solid piece underneath.  Haven't seen this before, so thought I would mention it here. 
Well, there are another couple, but the program doesn't want to let me load them, so I will have to leave them for next time.

Happy quilting all - wish I was able to do some too!!!

More Magic Bag Quilts

You know, the hardest part of writing this blog is coming up with an interesting title for each post.  A little like coming up with interesting names for quilts I guess.

Well, as promised, thought I would just share some more quilts from that Magic Bag I have.

This beautiful Churn Dash quilt  is again made from Moda fabrics, O Cherry O, I think, but not sure.  The quilting pattern is a very large feathered clam which looks great.  I will wait to see though if the customer wants some more quilting on this one though.  To me there is a lot of unquilted area.

Above is another bright and cheerful quilt in lime green and white.  It looks so fresh.  The quilting pattern used is called Too Much Bubbly - love it.

There is just one more quilt in the bag, but
