Brisie Craft and Quilt Show

In the middle of the Brisbane Craft and Quilt Fair.
My 'big job' is to sit and stitch on stand B07 at Catherinas Country Collections.
Woohoo! Doesn't get any better than that!!
Catching up with some old school friends (bestie from Year 8), kid sister of year 12 closest friend, neighbours from primary school, not to mention all the wonderful friends I've made through the joy of stitching over the last 20 years.


Carina's stand is chocker block with heaps of lovely things (great fabric etc so gotta be really careful LOL)


Here's some 'weird angle photos of my things (taken from where I'm sitting..


Still LOVE my little girl zingers...


One of my latest patterns, 'the Stitchers Quartet'.


My hearts and dreams quilts with the little 'Stitchery cushions' (Tilda of course and gotta say I LOVE THESE)

Now onto some amazing photos of the quilts at the show. First photo is of the quilt then following photo is of the designers/ makers details etc.

Wow what a wonderful weekend

Warwick is alive this weekend at Glenrose Patchwork. A wonderful time to be sitting in a glorious garden where the veges are grown right next to the roses that are in flower





The girls get together and create this annual event in aid of breast cancer and this year have added prostrate cancer.


A totally gorgeous raffle


Sausage sizzle (photos taken at the end of the busy day)


Surrounded by beautiful gardens


Quilts abound


And what a glorious setting


Tucked in under shady tents


Even the shed was on display


And made a lovely gallery


The flowers are out


And even the statues are enjoying the day


With the Bed and Breakfast cottages open for you to visit


Glenrose Patchwork shop is open


Bella Embroidery is here


And I am loving the weekend catching up with so many friends (everyone had gone home when I actually remembered to take some photos)


I won three great prizes in the cent auction so you can imagine the noise... So a great day was had yesterday and another one is happening today so if you are up for a lovely day out, please come say hello!
if you mention you have read my blog, when you get to the show in Warwick today, there is a free gift waiting for you!

We hope to see you and I will try to get some more photos today.
I hope you are having a very happy day in such glorious weather
Nikki
