Here we are at the
Maleny Quota Quilt Show, while the rest of the world is at Spring Quilt Market in the States!
I've already posted some quilts that were part of the
exhibition and now here are a few pictures of the stalls and local patchwork, quilting and craft stores in the Sunshine Coast and South East Queensland region.
This was my first time as a merchant at any quilt event, ever, so it was all pretty exciting for me! I'm sitting at my stand below. I hung the beautiful Robyn Allen- Waters "Sewing Circle "Quilt behind the stall and had heaps of people interested in it as well as her "French Collection". (Both are available from my
online and Ebay stores. On that note, my website is
currently undergoing some improvements, including easier buying facilities and a subscriber newsletter.)
Looking down the short row of stalls on my side, you can see Margaret from Gympie Patchwork in the foreground and
Karyll with her exquisite hand-dyed fabrics from
Palmwoods. I never cease to be amazed at the number of
talented artists and artisans we have in this small corner of the world.
Here's
Lesley from "Les Bears" and some of her
superb teddies, patterns and doll and bear accessories. I had to buy one of her teddy bear jumpers for a bear from my collection...
And here he is, looking very smart and warm in his new multi coloured jacket! He's a 1940's English
Twyford bear, an off-shoot of English Pedigree Toys. Doesn't he look cute?
I went to a fantastic workshop with brilliant American quilt maker and designer,
Sharon Schamber a few days ago. She's so clever and I'll post about that soon.
All the best for now and happy browsing,
Ann.
