The Whittlesea show. Lots of quilts on display, hanging along the walls above the display cabinets and from the rafters. The "Hearts and Flowers' quilt that I entered in the name of Southern Cross Quilters is fourth from left in this photo, and won second prize in the section for quilts made by a group.
Well done to Kate Jones and her elderly friend, Sue, who paper pieced the hearts that are the foundation for this quilt.

Here's some more of the quilts hanging from the rafters over the cookery entries. The gorgeous New York Beauty was the worthy window of the pieced/patchwork quilt section. On its left is my "Amish Bars circa 2010", which won second prize in that same section - an unexpected surprise for me. I suspect the judge likes free-motion quilting. This quilt has feathers in the coloured sections and nearly 50 different free hand filler designs arranged in diagonal tiles in the black areas, most from Dijanne Cevaal's '72 ways not to Stipple or Meander', and '72 more ways not to Stipple or Meander'

And the last two entries' prizes were less of a surprise - the two journal covers were the only two entries in the free hand machine embroidery section, so it wasn't a big surprise when they won first and second prizes.

The blue one has several different filler designs, some more from Dijanne's books, but also some of my own design, and the "JOURNAL" text.

The black and white one has a big pink daisy with 3D petals, only attached to the cover by the central vein, and an orange centre. But they chose to display the back (I guess so they could show the prize card, or because I had pinned the section card to the back??) These items were all under glass, so there's quite a bit of reflection.
