Quilt Show Winners

Well it's all over now for another 2 years! The Quilt Show went really well, heaps of people through the doors, lots of people interested in joining the club, happy merchants, a visit from the local TV channel and heaps more!

Now I thought you would like to see the prize winners from the show. I haven't reduced these photo's as much as I usually do, so you can click on them to see all the detail.

I'm starting with my favorite, 'Tui' by Lynne O'Donnell won the 'Best Wall Hanging/Lap Quilt' ( now make sure you click on the photo to see all the detail of Lynne's machine embroidery. ) 

'Banksia' by Lynne O'Donnell won the 'Best Machine Quilting' (you'll have to click on this to see the quilting, you can't see it here!)
