Quilt Carnival

 Point Nepean Quilt Show at Sorrento

Same pattern in a strikingly different colourway....

Pattern is called Hidden Wells - found this link and this....

This was my favourite - 'Crushed Raspberries on the Forest Floor' - great title!  (The red sashing is much more raspberry than this though...) It is a copy of Salinda Rupp Quilt 1875.

Close-ups of the samplers:

Closeups from a quilt called......

'Australia'

Accch! Sorry upside-down!

Check out Sharon's photos for some other quilts too!

These photos were taken from on top of the Ferris Wheel at the Carnival at Rye

(not my me - last time I went, I freaked out, shut my eyes tight and 'swore' at the children the whole ride  - so Mummy was banned from the ferris wheel!  

(V. v. soft swearing I promise! Actually anything that wasn't squeals of delight, the children took as 'bad' language)

This was taken from a hill just around the corner from where we were staying - mega bucks view baby!

I am so digging Brooches at the moment (Not 'Badges' as some loved ones have called them - oh, no, they are much prettier than a badge!)

The Sweetest Teeny Tinyest Brooch Eva! By Michelle of Shelbyville

Michelle very kindly sent me another brooch when first got lost in mail - maybe someone got an extra nice present for Christmas - bah!

Love her dinky cassette badges too

This little sweetie is by Sophie Isobel Designs - truly lovely and unique wrapping with just the thing for me and mine.  (Very Inexpensive Also - but professionally finished - such value!)
