Two weeks ago now, our little group of quilters headed out on the Western Highway to the Quilt In hosted by the Bacchus Marsh Friendship Quilters.
We were made to feel very, very welcome by our hostesses and sat down to a refreshing morning tea.
The guest speaker for the day was Michele Hill, who shared her quilting story with us and introduced us to the story of William Morris.
Here is a very small sample of her beautiful work.
Somewhere buried in my "little" stash is a very healthy bundle of William Morris fabrics. I have been waiting for the right project to come along. One of the ladies on the next table was making this beautiful hexagon quilt from all her WM fabrics. Honestly, the beauty I saw in this work made me almost shed a tear. A stunning way to display these beautiful fabrics.
Thank you Bacchus Marsh quilters for your warm welcome and an enjoyable day out.
Last Saturday was our monthly Bluegum meeting.
Kia brought her daugher's quilt to bind.
Michelle finished her quilt top done in Japanese fabrics.
Robyn finished her Kaffe Fassett project.
And me, maybe next time......
