Well I did this post some time ago, in early July and somehow forgot to actually post it. My bad. So anyway I thought I’d hit the Publish button and do a proper post after I get back from the Melbourne Craft & Quilt Fair at Jeff’s shed which started today.
From a month ago…
It’s been a real whirlwind of quilty goodness lately. Things are returning to normal thankfully or I don’t think I’d last much longer.
Margaret has posted about some of the lovely quilts we spent hours pouring over so be sure to have a look at the photo’s she’s been able to show.
Anyway here are some rough photos of the CAG event as well as some quick shots I took of some Boutis that I saw as I was leaving the Sydney quilt show.
Just some of the fabrics I picked up in Sydney

Gorgeous Boutis

and another absolutely gorgeous Boutis
and this next one is my favourite, unfortunately I didn’t find out where they came from or who made them
and this if my favourite Boutis
I’ve already starting drafting a pattern of this last one, as an appliqué of course.
CAG was fabulous and it’s alway a great opportunity to catch up with lots of lovely and amazingly talented quilters.
I wasn’t able to take very good photos at CAG as my camera isn’t up to it but here’s one quilt which is my favourite. Bev’s quilt is my all-time favourite version that I’ve seen of Di Ford’s 19th Century Baskets quilt. It’s not a good photo but the quilt is lovely.

And of course it was lovely to catch up with Mary and Joe again at CAG.
Mary, Joe and I
