It seems the world has gone crazy with rules. Rules for this and rules for that.
So as much as l would like to post lots of photos from the
Melbourne Quilt and Craft Show that l visited today,
RULES say l can only post the ones where
l have been given permission from the maker.
So attention to the rule makers.
Permission has been granted for all the following quilts!!
This first quilt, by Helen Hayes, is just beautiful.
Helen is a member of the Castlemaine Applique Group l belong to.
Helen's quilt won the prize for Best Creative Use Of Color. Yay!!
Margaret Mew is also a member of Castlemaine Applique Group.
Chris Serong is a member of the Castlemaine Applique Group.
Chris won a Highly Commended for this quilt.
Can you see a pattern happening?
l love this house quilt!!
Alison is a member of the Castlemaine Applique group.
Alison's quilt won first in Miniature Quilts.
Margaret McDonald is a member of the Castlemaine Applique Group.
Wendy Blyth is a member of the Castlemaine Applique Group.
This stunner won runner up in the Traditional category.
l took this same class as Wendy.
(Mine is still in a box, waiting to be finished!!)
As you can see, our Castlemaine Applique Group has some
wonderfully amazing and inspirational quilters,
which l guess is why l enjoy going to this group so much.
This beautiful green quilt was until recently an antique quilt top.
Then Karen Terrens quilted it, and it became the prize winner it
was always meant to be. You might recognise Karen's name.
She is the lady responsible for working her magic on

So you can imagine my joy and delight, when looking at
Karen's quilt below, to discover that it had "WON" Best Of Show!!!
Congratulations Karen on a well deserved win.
Just look at all those ribbons!! Oh My!!
You can read Karen's story here!
And the sneak peak we had of her quilt back here!
l couldn't be more happier for her.
Except to say, She quilts my quilts!!!!
l will be back with a collection of special quilts that were on exhibit.

Thanks for sharing these beautiful quilts! I love the pink and white one, and I'm off to check out the link you gave us - thanks!!
ReplyDeleteSo glad you are part of the Castlemaine groups so that we can enjoy a lot of photos ......... thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteWow.
ReplyDeleteReally, REALLY nice quilts.
Such a shame about the stupid photography rules. My opinion...its in the public arena by being exhibited, therefore it can be shared worldwide.Period.
I was so happy for Karen when I read her blog, her work is always amazing and her quilt really deserves a zillion prizes. All the quilts you've shown are all so wonderful!! The Castlemaine group is very talented!!
ReplyDeleteLook forward to seeing these quilts tomorrow.

Rules, smules......For goodness sakes, if the quilt is hanging in a show, the the maker expects people to see it. Good greif. Thank your ladies for giving permission, I love a good quilt show from down under!

ReplyDeleteWonderful quilts - I keep wanting to come to Melbourne to see your show - now even more so!! All the quilts pictured here are quite spectacular but I love, love LOVE Chris Serong's quilt of circles!!!! I will be lining up to purchase a pattern from her!
ReplyDeleteThanks again for showing us
Cheerio, Kirsten :)
Spectacular quilts, thank you for sharing them with us. As for all the rules that have now intruded on all aspects of our lives, I'm thankful that quiltmakers of the past were more interested in just sharing the love of the craft.
ReplyDeleteOh my, what glorious quilts! Loved your pictures of the quilts and seeing the names of the quiltmakers and the name of the quilt. Thank you.
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for the pics! You are soooo lucky to belong to the Castlemaine Applique Group!
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing those gorgeous quilts. There are some really wonderful ones there, I love the two strippys and the pines trees, in fact it's hard to say I don't love them all.
ReplyDeleteThank you to everyone who gave permission for us to see these wonderful quilts and what a clever and talented lot you are. Beautiful quilts. Well done.
ReplyDeleteThankyou for sharing these beautiful quilts...and thankyou to those who gave you permission. What an extremely talented group you belong to.
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing, I too went to the quilt show and there certainly was some amazing quilts. I do find though that with all the rules for this and that it feels as if everything is getting out of hand. It is a shame that we just can't share the eye candy with out the fear that some one may reproduce it.
