It's certainly been too much for lots of people this last week and several more are going to feel the effects very soon. And yet, some areas around Aramac and in the Channel Country are still so light on! Go figure! Our river crossing is still way too deep - guide posts are not visible at all - so it will be a couple of weeks yet, before I can get home.
In the meantime, I have been continuing to cut FQ's, re-arrange fabrics to make them fit in and a little bit of quilting on the side.
This little whimsical collection is called Get Together - pink and blue pigs, squirrels, acorns and birds. Novelty prints feature in almost every major collection these days. Here is another one called Outfoxed, by Lizzie House.
Foxes, hedgehogs and co-ordinates.
Note the orange fabric - that's the " nominated colour" for 2012 - tangerine tango. I still haven't opened the new boxes, but it should be this week.
Last year, there was a red and white quilt exhibition called Infinite Horizons held in New York. I'm sorry that I don't have all the details on hand (theyr'e at home on my desk) Basically, there were over 600 quilts, all red and white and all belonged to the one person. The quilts were stunning and the exhibition was outstanding. There has been quite a rebirth of red and white quilts since then and the Mt. Isa quilters have decided to run a red and white challenge and have invited our participation. The quilt would need to be completed early April, as the first exhibition is to be held in McKinlay later that month. Any money raised during an exhibition, will go to Aged Care in that local area. Please phone or call if you would like any more details.
See you next week-
Sandy.
