Brisbane Quilt Show Part 2

As some of you know this past week saw Brisbane host their annual Queensland Quilt Show.   I travelled to Brisbane with a few friends for our big day out!   I took lots of photos and have grouped them up, so today I will share some traditional quilts and some quite wonderful small works of art that caught a lot of attention!  The works are exquisite as you will see.

Quite apart from the modern take on the traditional skills of the needle, we all love to see traditional designs.......and no quilt show would be worth its salt if there wasn't a Dear Jane standing proud, she sure has survived the tests of time.......

Hexies too!!! no show would be complete without these dear little blocks!!

This Baltimore was entirely hand appliqued and hand quilted in the most beauitful even little stitches, truly a work of art!!!!

From memory, this next one is a hand-dyed whole cloth, which was exquisitely machine quilted!!!!

This next collection of small art/scenic quilts was just incredible, the photos really do not do justice to the intricate work each piece required to get the results the artist strived for.

Each little masterpiece is iconly Australian!

Even the Hill's Hoist (Australian made clothes line) made it into this collection!!!!!

The head of our shy little platypus, here in the bottom, middle.   The frames you see are also made of fabric!!!!

The top row, middle, was beautifully textured, to represent the bark of our native trees.

Our famous cricketer Sir Donald Bradman featured also.

This next art quilt was also just amazing to see!!!  It has a lot of ribbons to its credit - not sure who the maker is.

I hope you have enjoyed seeing what Queenland Quilters had to offer this year, something for everyone!!!

Have a great sewful week everyone!
Take it easy,
