Today is the opening day of Darling Harbour Quilt Show. I hear that this year there is a record number of quilts entered so there will be plenty of eye candy for all. Below are a couple of photos of my two favourite quilts from last year.
The photo doesn't do justice for this quilt - the quilting is more like a variety of embroidery stitches. Simply magnificent. I'm sorry I can't recall the maker of this quilt but in my opinion she is a genius!!
My other favourite was a group collaboration of a Chuck Nohara Quilt. You could spend hours looking at this quilt and seeing all the quirky blocks that are in it. I am fortunate enough to have a copy of the book and can highly recommend anyone have a good glance at it and consider purchasing it for themselves. The book is produced by Quiltmania.
Darling Harbour is opens today and closes on Sunday. Its a great day out and you walk away with a hundred ideas for new quilts! I'll be there over the weekend and will post some of my favourites. Hope to see you there!
