AQC

We had a spur of the moment decision to go to AQC, just for the day.  We arrived in Melbourne at 9.30am and got home just after 10pm!  A whirlwind trip.  Roseanne and myself had a great time, I had never been to AQC, and Roseanne had never been to Melb!!

 

The quilts were AMAZING!  I especially liked this one, called 'Elenor Jean' enough to purchase the book, signed by Linda White herself! And, it was best in Australia.  Made from 1/4" hexies.

 

You cant see that this one had been jewelled:

 



 

The one below was made entirely from scraps, some 1/2" pieces!  WOW!!

 

 

I really loved this giant Swoon!

 

 

We decided to do some Make & Take Workshops.  I was keen to try Helen Stubbings hexie method with the iron on applique, so started this cute as a button purse.  These hexies are 1/4" and I made one flower in the class - I could have done more, but got chatting!  I look forward to finishing this at some stage....

 

 

Here is Helen and Myself at the class:

 

 

Another class we chose to do was this cute necklace.  These were quick and easy.  Though I had trouble turning it in the right way, even the teacher had trouble fixing it for me LOL. Give me a skewer or chopstick I can handle that!

 

It was also lovely to catch up with Gail Pan.  I adore her patterns, and while I was there, I picked up some newbies.

 

 

We left as the door closed and tried many times to take a 'selfie'. This is as good as it gets.  We sure got some giggles.

 

 

Beautiful water feature at Carlton Gardens

 

 

We hope to come back next year.
