2Q Challenge on display

"Classy" - my entry into Qld Quilters Challenge this year.  The theme was 30 - in celebration of 2Q's 30th Anniversary. The complete display will be at Stitches & Craft currently on at the Convention Centre here in Brisbane from today through till Sunday.  There is also a display of modern quilts by the new group within 2Q - 2QModern.  Am hoping to get over to see this plus check out what's on offer through the vendors.

Quilt Group Meeting

On the last Saturday of the month, I attend Queensland Quilters' Art Quilt group (2QAQ or 2Quack!) & last month, Ali aliquilts.com.au/  gave a little demo on a couple of techniques - one of them being Notan.  Above is one of my attempts - it was really fun.  Google it - it's a Japanese technique.

And they keep coming.........

We've been busy over the last few weeks with lots of guests through Airbnb www.airbnb.com.au and our local neighbours have rolled out to say G'Day.

More visitors

The flying fix delighted our German visitor & we shooed him off before he took a liking to our pawpaws. Glad he didn't find out how delicious they were.

Backyard visitors

The pink bear has a couple of travelling companions - Julie & Aaron - the bear was the silent type but his friends kept us entertained.

WIP

I've working on a few things - don't seem to be getting very far with anything.  A variety of different sized hexagons that may end up something like this (I do like this idea) but maybe with a different coloured background. It's gone back into its box to mature a bit longer.

Below is another baby quilt I've been asked to make - still making up my mind about the leaves - they are moving about the quilt in a quest to find the right resting place - hope it finds the right place soon.

Branching out????

Saw this in Down Under Textiles, Issue 12,2013 - "Messy Nest basket" by Christine Butler - it was fun to make & especially fun to decorate. Wouldn't it be a great Easter Egg Nest??
