The Glenbrook Cocktail Quilters Show
It was a grey, rainy winters day here in the Blue Mountains, perfect for going to The Glenbrook Quilters Show with my friend Chris.
We didn't find any cocktails but there were lots of stunning quilts. Here's just a few...
Along side quilts made by members of the group were antique quilts from their private collections.
I love the sashing stripes and the mix of fabrics used in this Carpenter's Wheel quilt.
This 1,000 Pyramids quilt dates to the 1860's .
Beautifully machine quilted by Kaye Brown. The simple circles on the star blocks is something I never would have thought of.
This wall hanging by Heather Friedel had us mesmerised. We were able to talk to Heather about her work and French Twist sounds like it was an exercise in precision and patience!

Here's one for the Liberty fans. Simply named The Liberty Quilt it was made by Jann Power using a pattern from the Quilter's Barn.
This starburst quilt made with colourful reproduction fabrics was such a joy to look at. Ohio Star Medallion was made by Sharon Duffy using a Judy Rothermel pattern.

ReplyDeleteI think I'd be tearing my hair out, and probably go bald trying to make French Twist. I will just admire it from afar.
Wish we had shows like that up here in Maryborough QLD.....its no boring ;( no quilt shows to attend how i miss New South Wales.....nothing better on a cold winters day than to rug up and go to a quilt or craft show.
