Today was a lovely sunny Sunday, the last day of 2014 Sydney Quilt Show. My Sunshine and I made it there, to Glebe Island, where the Show was held. It was a fun 'mother and son' day out. :-) We enjoyed the ferry rides from and to Darling Harbour.... I missed seeing my quilt at the Show when I first entered it back in 2011 as I was away in France. So, I try to be there to see my quilt when I'm home. I was very pleased to see my quilt hung at the Show this year.
Here is part of my quilt top, 'Short Trips Around the World'. The pattern was from a tutorial by Katy Jones. I have entered it to the Sydney Quilt Show at Darling Harbour this year. Both the quilt design and colour scheme weren't what I would normally choose. But I was curious to see how I would feel when working on this kind of scrappy quilt - 'outside my comfort zone' was one way of looking at it. The experience was fun and I really enjoyed it. The process, in principle, was very similar to project management. It's probably why I enjoyed it so much.! I'm still deciding how I would like to quilt it.... I will find out in early May whether or not it will be accepted to be juried and hung at the Show, so fingers crossed.!
