A whirlwind trip to Auckland (to buy a new car for DH) allowed me to visit the Auckland Festival of Quilts. Here are some of my favourites:
 |
| Minecraft is important in my day job :) |
 |
| A featured quilter |
 |
| Love the thread painting, what a stunning piece altogether! |
 |
| The colours pop! |
 |
| This quilt reminded me a lot of the candlewick quilts Donna from the BMQG enjoys making |
 |
| I wouldn't want to piece all of these, but a fascinating quilt to admire! |
 |
| An incredible piece, look at all the detail in the quilting! |
 |
| Yellow challenge - some of our Northland and ex-Northland quilters represented |
 |
Teeny-tiny blocks!
 |
| Mine were there of course, too :) |
 |
This was one of the most stunning pieces, unfortunately I missed out the label:
 |
| I want to try out this black stitched outline around the applique shapes, it looked great (click on image to view larger) |
Probably my favourite quilt in this show:
 |
| What do you think? |
 |
| I need to find a better photographer, I can't read it but it's obvious the judges liked this quilt, too. |
Enough inspiration to last a while...
Happy Sewing!
Saw that Minecraft quilt and thought of you... you have to make one someday :o)
