On Sunday John and I went to the Sydney Quilt Show at Darling Harbour. The quilts on display were sensational and the Best of Show was won by a local quilter Merilyn Pearce. I was lucky enough to attend a machine quilting class with her when I first started quilting.Some of my favourite quilt shops weren't there this year, so I didn't buy everything on my list but found enough to keep me happy for a while.
The best part of Sunday was meeting Ruth Buchanan - she was taking lots of photos of the quilts for the NSW Quilters Guild - recognised her red Converse sneakers that she had blogged about a few weeks ago. Was wonderful to chat with such a great designer - Ruth won an award for her quilt "100 Glimpses: Fact and Fiction". Many of Ruth's quilts feature in AP&Q and she is a regular contributor to Country Threads.
Last week the odometer on our Tarago turned over 400,000 kms - the time is coming for us to look at replacing the car but it's difficult to part with a car that has been such a huge part of our everyday life.

Ah Lynda, it was lovely to meet you - and hilarious to be recognised via the Product (Red) Converse gymboots (see, it doesn't matter if your face isn't on your blog - the shoes can give you away!). I did enjoy chatting with you both. Thank you for writing such kind things here.
You have lots of favourites on the blog playlist too...
cheers, Ruth
Nice little treats......
Gawd! You purchased heaps!! Looking forward to seeing your creations
