The Spa Quilters of Daylesford held their annual quilt show this weekend, and as I was in the town for the usual Sunday market, I went and had a look. It was a fairly small show, with some very good quilts, and some less than spectacular ones, together with several quilt shops with tempting goodies for sale. It was fairly easy to resist them………I have a cupboard and drawers full of fabrics, and these days, little inclination to use any of them. I did take some pictures of items which impressed me though.
This kimono is made by Bev Sullivan, from inchies…..possibly more than 500 of them. What an effort!
Another mammoth effort – this huge quilt measured 3.25 x 2.6 metres…..quilt as you go hexagons by Lorelle Hall – the label said she made it to use up her stash of Japanese fabrics.
Another lovely one – Giant Dahlia by Mary Fennell.
More Inchies….
Finally there were these – made from selvedge strips. An amazing amount of work involved, but they looked great.
It made me think about quilting again………briefly!
lol I like that………….’briefly’ !
Inchies would need to be at least 3″ before id even think about using that many! But they do look great must admit.
Id never have thought of quilt as you go hexies though, thats interesting!
Great entries. I have more fabric than I will ever be able to use in my life but draw the line at such labour-intensive projects, lovely as they are!
