Yesterday I spent the day down in Adelaide (our capital city for South Australia) where the SA Quilter's Guild were holding their annual Quilt show in conjunction with the Quilt & Craft Fair.
I was thrilled to discover that my customer's quilt that we entered had received the special award of Excellence in Machine Quilting this year......
Here it is with me next to it. The lighting isn't wonderful sadly...You can see close up photos on a previous post on this blog when I'd just finished quilting it!
Two days before this happened I was also honoured to be asked to MODEL for a local Melbourne Cup luncheon on behalf of the Make A Wish Foundation....just for a bit of fun & entertainment to the 140 people who were attending to watch the BIG RACE...
The tradition is to get really dressed up and wear amazing HATS...here are some photos of those that dressed up...
They had lots of fun and we models enjoyed showing off some lovely fashions from a local shop...I believe quite a bit of $$ was also raised for the Make a Wish Foundation as well.
cheers

Tracey - what a wonderful job on that quilt. I love the pebbling under the medallion and the concentric swirls and of course the medallion. It's no wonder it won for excellence in machine quilting. The level of difficulty on this quilt just blows me away. I have to go check out the reason for all the dress up...quilts first, hats after. And of course, I need to find the post with the other photos of this quilt.
Congratulations on your award.............Awesome!!!!!!!
