I finally finished my January Mourning Quilt, part of Kathleen Tracy's One Small Quilt a Month Challenge.
I am sure that I won't get one done every month, but at least I have finished one.
It is machine pieced and hand quilted. The central area was quilted in the ditch and on the border I used a simple orange peel design.
Today we visited the Essendon Quilters' Exhibition. This group always prepare a lovely show but unfortunately they have asked us not to publish any photos.
A lovely surprise was a chance meeting with a long time blogging friend Marina and she introduced me to some new bloggers.
Although I can't show any quilts, if you go to Irene's website you can see some of her lovely quilts that were on display today.
PS: I met Melody today and she got permission to publish a few photos. You can see them here.

Great finish. I love your little quilt. Have a great day.
Lovely little quilt - great fabrics and I love how you quilted the border. You all look like you're having a wonderful time - quilt shows are always inspirational.
Your mini quilt is lovely, and the quilting design looks great too. They will be a good opportunity to practice different designs. Glad you enjoyed the quilt show, Essendon Quilters always get good reviews.

Know what you mean about not being able to show pictures from a quilt show. We can't do that here either. Darn. It's great to see you with your new friends. So glad you had a chance to do that. YOU'RE looking great!

Hey Elyte! I've just posted that I'm giving you the Liebster Blog award. Please visit my blog post to read about it.
I like that! Is the border pieced, or is it a striped fabric?
This is my first time on your blog. I SEW loved your little quilt and all the other blog comments. Be back soon.
