More on "Meryton"

Here are some more versions of amazing "Meryton" quilts being made by my clever students:

The first one is by Christine who is making a soft pink and green version with touches of mushroom and soft purple.

This is Kylie's final block all pinned in place - not long to go now!

This is Lianne's fabulous modern version in black and white with hot pink and turquoise.  Wow.  Groovy baby!

Great work girls!

Anne's Very Different "Longbourne"!

Anne has sent me some photos of her fabulous "Longbourne" quilt which she began in class with the Misty Mountains Quilters.  I loved teaching this group as everyone was committed to working hard and each student was working in a totally different colour scheme.

Anne made her version in mostly Kaffe Fassett fabrics.  Her quilt has a bright and whimsical feel.  

I love it!  Well done, Anne, and see you later this year in Bath for our Jane Austen tour!

The back is gorgeous as well...

Kylie's Quilts at the Quilt Show

It is so great to see my students so proud of their work and displaying it at The Quilters' Guild of NSW Quilt Show.

Kylie exhibited two of her gorgeous Jane Austen quilts this year: Hunsford and Longbourne.

Needless to say, Kylie loves the colour pink.  Her "Hunsford" was beautifully custom quilted by Katy Law.

This is Kylie's stunning "Longbourne" - it looked superb hanging up, beautifully quilted by Veronica Appleyard.

I have Kylie's permission to show you these quilts.

Teacher Accreditation and My Day at the Quilt Show.

I was very proud to receive my Teacher Accreditation Certificate for Workshop Techniques from the Quilters' Guild of NSW yesterday.

Here I am with Amanda Daly (Vice President of the Guild and Teacher Accreditation Committee Chairman) receiving my certificate.

I was also able to work as a demonstrator for the Guild.  I sat for a while stitching hexagons and had some lovely conversations with passers by.

I also finally saw my Winchester quilt hanging in the red and white quilt display.

Thank you to the sponsors for my great prizes.

Hopefully you can see some of the detail of the beautiful quilting by Belinda Betts.

It was a busy day but great fun.
