The Castlemaine Appliqué Group put on an outstanding exhibition last weekend. You might want to grab a cuppa as this is long post :)
My new camera got a real work out but I'm still figuring it out so I apologise in advance as some are better than others! I'll just let the pictures do the talking - the labels come after the quilt.

| This has given me some ideas for the broderie perse on AWS |
 |
| Blurry but cute! |
 |
| LOVE this background fabric and the quilting! |
 |
| Beautiful broderie perse |

| We were very excited to see not one but two Antique Wedding Sampler quilts!! |
 |
| This was a standout quilt for both of us, the applique skills and the fabrics - just fabulous |
 |
| It's always great to see a Morrell - this was a stunner! |

| This quilt was just incredible, luckily a 'quilt angel' helped us to see more |

| Loved the use of colour in this quilt |
Phew and this was just a sampling! Just amazing.
Back home on the train, a nice smooth ride compared to the Warrandyte bus!

Great photos Carole- thanks for the label following each quilt. I need to finish a few things so I can start on one of these fabulous quilts. I have the book with Rotherfield Greys but Jan's Mrs. Williams is tempting too.

ReplyDeleteThanks Carole for taking the time to post pictures of this wonderful show. I so enjoyed reading about each quilt and seeing close ups of the quilting.
ReplyDeleteIt was lovely to meet up with you and Judy at the show. A lovely blog post of the quilts, Carole, and you did a great job with naming the quilts and their makers.
