Kapiti Quilters Show

 I managed to drag the hubby along to a quilt show this weekend, solely because it was held in the Southward Car Museum. At only $17 entry, it was cheap entertainment for the period of time he spent.

Needless to say, although I have since sit through his car photo's, he won't be reviewing any of the beautiful quilts that were on show.

The vendors were out in force, and I managed to find some Art Gallery Fabric, a rare event in NZ. I also stocked up on some newish Kaffe fabrics to enhance the stash.

A few of my favourite quilts, which also happened to be prize winners are below:

Climb every mountain by Valerie Cameron, and quilted by Maria Munro.


Sustainable Development by Sara Boland

Some of the detail, I love the use of text and hand stitching.

Magnum Opus by Barbara Jones


Crystal's Quilt by Sandra Killin

Jewel Box by Sandra White


We finished the morning by going down the coast, though it wasn't really the weather for beach visiting. Even the birds were having a tough time of it. Just a grey, autumnal day, though at least it wasn't raining. Roll on spring!
