Went to the quilt show at Riebeeck and it was great. Luckily hubby took me because at the end of looking at all the quilts my eyes and feet were sore, even though I had the most comfortable shoes on and also my reading glasses which are new. He drove us back and that was great as I was able to sit back and recap all the quilts I had seen there. The quilts were from all different styles and it was great to see how artistic all of the different styles were. There were also traditional quilts, machine quilted quilts, and also lots of wallhangings. The winner quilt was a wallhanging with tiny ivy leaves all sewn on seperately. Congratulations to the winner, all that hard work has paid off. Marie Claase had her quilts shown there and also lots of Susan Sittig was there too. Lovely quilts but Susan loves and knows her sewing machine and uses it too the fullest. Her quilts are mostly machine made and quilted. I prefer to do all my quilts by hand but recognize all the hard work that goes into even the machine made quilts. Will be there with the next show and thanks to all the people working behind the scenes to bring us this wonderful world of quilting. |
Am a quilter, crafter which includes embroidery, beading, crochet and knitting. Just love keeping myself busy with crafty things.
