The Barn was overflowing with hexies, birds, fruit, flowers, baskets, crowns and hares. This was the raffle quilt 'Out of the Blue' which raised money for Beyond Blue. You can purchase the pattern from Liz's Broderie etsy shop.
We can't post photos of whole quilts so here are some snippets. I'll just let the pictures do the talking...

It was an over-whelming experience to see these quilts en masse, it made me feel as though my own quilts are quite boring. Really makes you think about fabric and colours and how everything can be combined from repro to Kaffe Fassett to Aboriginal prints. Thanks to Linda and her helpers; and Margaret Sampson-George and her students for this wonderful opportunity.
Wishing you a safe and peaceful Easter.
wow
ReplyDeleteDelightful eye candy - thank you for posting the photos. It was a shame that such great work is not available to all. Not all can travel so far!!! Well done to quilt makers who ever they are - they deserve credit.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great post! Thanks for the wonderful photos, I wish I could have been there. Marg's work (and her student's) are so very inspiring. I look forward to the Quilts in the Barn exhibition postings every year. Thank you again. Karen

Thanks for sharing Carol.
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing these lovely pictures and happy easter
ReplyDeleteThank you for all the pictures. I don't know much about Margaret Sampson-George and her work but these quilts look amazing.
ReplyDeleteWow! How lucky to be able to see all these wonderful quilts in person. The fabric combinations are jaw dropping.
ReplyDeleteThank you, thank you, thank you for posting the pictures of the show. I knew Marg's work was being featured and would love to see it in person but I live too far away. There is so much inspiration in those quilts and it makes my fingers itch to sew!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great exhibition, thanks for sharing all the photo's. Marg has such an amazing eye for colour and pattern and it is great that she is able to share her talents with so many people. You are so lucky to live close to the barn. Look forward to catching up with you at AQC!
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing these pictures from Quilts in the Barn. It is such a great example of quilting in your area I would never see as I am in the USA. I also love the quilts u do. I just started Gossip in the Garden as a BOM from our LQS. U had a great influence on me joining in.
ReplyDeleteThey are definitely a lot more out there than anything I do, but the workmanship is amazing. I just wouldn't know where to start with that much colour. Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteI was pretty overwhelmed with the photos. Can't imagine actually seeing them in real life en masse like that. Just gorgeous. Would love to do a class there. Thanks heaps for sharing them.
ReplyDeleteOh my! Thank you for sharing some fantastic pics, I was really drawn in to the quilt with the bird cage.
ReplyDeleteWow--what an amazing display--awe inspiring!!
ReplyDeleteNot surprising that you were overwhelmed with all the work that went in the quilts! It is great to see your photos as I had a friend that was there and she really enjoyed her weekend.
ReplyDeleteAmazing! So much inspiration, Carole. Thank you so much!
ReplyDeleteDivine inspiration, would have loved to have been there!!
ReplyDeleteGreat pics : )
Great post, I can't get enough of this exhibition. One I will never forget!
ReplyDeleteyou are right thinking of the fabrics used and how they are presented in the quilt is just so spectacular! I have to revisit my stash for sure and see how I can rework my fabric. I am a frugal person with my fabric that will have to change to become more creative.
