The highlight this week was going to AQC (Australasian Quilt Convention) which was held in Brisbane for the first time (usually Melbourne). My first visit there and the highlight was seeing amazing quilt art. I did take pictures but they are much better seen on the website HERE if you are interested. There is a tab on the top of the page called Quilt Show and in that a number of sections that one can browse through. You can also google the different artists names to see more of their work.
More of an Art Show using Quilting as a technique and just amazing.
Of course there were traders too..... and they were fun to visit.... and friends to meet up with which was a highlight also - most of them I met via blogging. I did miss a special friend who I usually play with at the shows - not the same without her, but wonderful non-the-less.
Meanwhile regular life continues at home.... I have finally done my green fish for this months scraps
... and I finished my little dribble bib which will go with the quilt....
Working hard on my way behind Field Journal blocks
I am going to be working on Puzzle Box this weekend.... these are a few of the blocks I have already done.
Made using 'leftovers' of previous used fat quarter pack. Puzzle Box is a free pattern kindly given by Christa Quilts and can be found HERE
Righto, Gotto Go... a quick cuppa then off to the sewing machine.... have a lovely weekend xx
Loving your Field Journal embroideries, they are all so pretty...

ReplyDeleteSo good you could get to the quilt show Fiona even if you missed your partner in crime!! Your field journal blocks are beautiful, such pretty colours. The bib is super cute.
ReplyDeleteGosh, those floral stitcheries are gorgeous. Glad you had a nice time at AQC and that you caught up with friends.
ReplyDeleteYour FJ blocks are all so beautiful. I remember many fun trips to the AQC in Melbourne when I was in quilting groups. Cost me a fortune because I bought so much lol.
ReplyDeleteLovely embroidery, Fiona......been reading about AQC, I've never been and probably never will.....so I'm glad you enjoyed your visit!
ReplyDeleteHow good to be able to enjoy the quilt show .
ReplyDeleteNice green fishys…
Your FJ blocks are gorgeous stitched in all the pretty threads.
I agree, your Field Journal embroidery blocks are just perfect. Your stitches are so even. Excellent work. Thanks for the link to the quilt show. I will go and lose myself their textile land. ;^)
ReplyDeleteGosh those Field Journal blocks are just beautiful Fiona. I also adore that bib you have made - far too nice to drool food over it!! 😉
ReplyDeleteNice green fish and such a pretty little bib. Great FJ too. xx
ReplyDeleteAmazing quilt show, we haven't had any in the past two years, so hopefully they will start up again, next year. Love your baby quilts, that you have been making. I still have materials I won and backings to do some, so hoping I can get those done and gift to nephews and nieces who are having kids of their own now.

ReplyDeleteLove your Field Journal stitcheries.....lots of great projects....
ReplyDeleteYou’re being very good at using your stash lately. It would have been fun to attend AQC. My cousin asked me if I was going. I wish. One of her friends from Darwin had her at art quilt featured. Are you getting caught up with Field Journal? More lovely blocks.
