A couple of weeks ago I went up to the Canberra Craft and Quilt Show
Here are 2 of the quilts that caught my eye
Through the Garden Gate, Rose Lewis
224 x 227.5cm
This quilt depicts Rose’s front garden, as it is in spring. She has heavily trapuntoed all the applique and most of the quilting; all sewing have been done on a domestic machine. Look for snails, wrens, ladybirds, spider webs…
They were just stunning!!!

Bits and pieces including the quilt everything is sitting on.

Here is the back of the quilt
Quite unusual fabric and colours so I just had to bring it home with me!!!
A great day especially since Mr Armchair had the day off to care for JoJo so I could have a day out!!!
I saw this little Quilt Size Chart and thought how handy so had to blog it!!!

Looks like you had a lovely time Dzintra x
Beautiful quilts....love the Garden Gate! Lots of lovely shopping too.
Good morning Dzintra dear! The garden gate is FANTASTIC! And I'd say that quilt weather is beginning for us! It was chilly last night and I could have used a nice quilt to keep me warm! Enjoy your summer as it comes closer! Oh the colors here!
I love the garden gate quilt! It went a bit blurred when I tried to enlarge it, how lovely to see it in person.
Hi Dzintra ,thankyou for sharing those quilts with us and oh you did some lovely buying there and so good you had a wonderful day off,xx
What a fun free day out at a quilt show. I'm afraid to go because I would buy so much stuff that I don't have time to use the. Love that quilt you bought! Hugs Nat
A quilt show is always the nicest way to spend a day! That Garden Gate quilt is beautiful! On Pintrest there's all sort of handy charts, search under something like Quilt Math. For the math challenged such as myself it sure is helpful!
Tik romantisks kvilts ar dārza vārtiņiem. Un pārējie arī skaisti. Un svarīgi pirkumi jauniem darbiem.
That's such a lovely quilt, I can see why it was a favourite. You certainly found lots of new treasures!! Lots of sewing things to keep you busy until next years show.
Love the garden gate quilt - what a fun day you ahd.
So glad that you were able to have a day off. I love that first quilt - it is just amazingly detailed and beautiful.

Good morning dear friend! It was so great to see your comment this morning! WOW! And to hear about your summer coming, and the color of the water and smell of the sea in the air. What a joy that is!
Enjoy this Sweet September as you experience it your way! BIG HUGS, Anita
