Quilt show

Yesterday there was a quiltshow at Allbo, in an old barn. It was the members of a quilt society called Sprätthönorna who had made the quilts. I´m thinking about join that society.

I went there together with my daugther Josefin. And we had a wondeful time, so inspiring. Sorry about some of the photos, but it was quite dark in there.

It was a wonderful place, the quilts fitted in so well....

A wagon full of animals....

....this cute cat sat there together with his friends.

There were a lot of those beautiful creations....

a lot of them....

Wonderful colours!

A heart of flowers
This house was fantastic. It´s built of log cabin blocks, and there are applique cut out from a panel.



Japanese fabrics

Hearts


More lovely things!
Some of our favorites!
A close up. Such wonderful colours! Josefin get inspired, perhaps a quilt like this will be made by her. I´m happy for that.

Another cat!

The last picture, then our camera thought it was enough. Why do I always forgot to charge the battery before I go somewhere?
We had a wonderful time and so much inspiration. I think a can work full time quilting for the rest of my life and never have time to finished all I want to do....
But that´s much better than not having anything that inspires you!! I feel very sorry for those people!!!
So, keep on quilting...

Hello Helena!

You'll have to let me know when there is a quilt show in Skåne!

That one you went to looked warm and cozy! FUN stuff!

I did something today!!! I started making some pieces for a "Fabric Post card swap" ...I figured out that I could find time to make something small! :-)
