Glebe Island Show and last days of our SALE

Hi Everyone

OUR SALE ENDS TOMORROW


One happy customer


Early sale hunters

So many wonderful quilter's have dropped by the shop on their way to and from the Glebe Island Quilt Show.  It's lovely to see all our interstate regulars.

Don't forget we are open tomorrow the only Sunday of the year, from 10 until 3 in the afternoon.  The sale continues on-line until midnight on Sunday 13 July.

25 % off all fabric.

THE GLEBE ISLAND QUILT SHOW
LOVED IT. 

Loved the quilts, loved the venue, loved the light, (even the food was OK).

I took a cab to the venue and back, but everyone I met said they had no problem with transport to Glebe Island.  The ferry from Darling Harbor seemed to be the biggest hit.


This is Jessica Wheelahan's quilt "Errant Geese". Quiltsmith and Dr Annette Gero sponsor "The best Quilt Inspired by an Antique Quilt" prize.  This quilt was this year's winner.  Jessica was inspired by the rigid "Flying Geese" Quilts of the 1800's where all the geese flew in straight lines, one after the other.


I really liked the way you can clearly see the basic Flying Geese blocks in the quilt. Jessica has taken the old and reinterpreted it for today.


This is Jessica and myself.  I had no knowledge that the ribbon for this prize matched my sleeve so perfectly.
Well done Jessica.

CONGRATULATIONS JANET
BEST OF SHOW 
for COXCOMB AND CURRANTS


Who says beautiful hand applique and hand quilting are dead.  No way.
Janet Treen is in our Aunty Green Coverlet class with Sure Ross.  I can hardly wait to see that finished.




There are sooooo many other quilts at the show, you must go and see them.
