I'm still buzzing from the great day I had at the Sydney Quilt Show.
So glad I went now.
We headed down the highway early with our awesome driver Jane at the wheel of the bus. Had a bit of breaky then headed into the abyss that is the Sydney Quilt Show. It just sucks you in and all the pretties pulling me in all directons. I stood strong with my pledge not to buy any fabric and I was successful !!! A miracle !!! There was plenty of other things to temp the wallet though.



Some of the pretty yarns that were there to tempt me...yes I went back and got some..of course..

There were tonnes of quilts. There is always such a variety. So much to take in....






 This is my friend Jan's quilt. It's always exciting to see a quilt you know hanging in the show...


 AND...this is Beth's quilt. Beth is Jan's beautiful daughter and she WON first in the under 12 quilters.. How amazing is that. She is a quilting star!!! Congratulations Beth!!!



Sarah and I had a little time out and went to Guylian Belgian Chocolate Cafe for lunch. Oh, wow, the hot chocolate was amazing and we had the best chicken pie ever... it was so good we went back for afternoon tea as well... we felt very special...


 I got to meet up with fellow bloggers. What a lovely group of ladies. I am at a loss to some of your names but I will surely be getting to know you all in the near future. Thanks to Chookyblue and Cheryll for convincing me to come...I'm looking foward to getting to meet you all through your blogs...


 My bus buddies all worn out and no money left waiting for our bus home....


Another fabulous year at the show over...

Happy Quilting
