Some photos from RCQ Tote and Gloat 2011

I wish I could acknowledge all the talented quilters who made these quilts but a lot of the photos I took were of quilts that were only shown at Show and Tell and not hung on the display.  Sad I reckon.  I'd have loved to get better photos and have a long look at some of them.  Hope you enjoy these.  I'll post some more another day.

This is called Fractured Pansies by Alison of RCQ

I love this.  Reminds me of See the light within the trees

Scraps, scraps and more scraps.. gorgeous

I know Dale from Capital Quilters made these using strings of fabric sewn onto the pages of a phone book



this is the back of a quilt!!



True friends are like diamonds

So true.  I have had a fabulous weekend.  I've spent 3 days catching up with my old friends and my family whom I haven't seen since Christmas.  And I feel wonderful.  It's so lovely to be close to them all again even for a precious moment or two.  And hugs.. I think that's one of the things I miss the most!!  I need to go back up there more often.

On Saturday I went to the quilt show at Waipukurau.  I had my 10 year old grandson with me and he was so GOOD.  He loves looking at quilts and appreciates the work in them.  I made one for his 6th birthday and he still brings it out to the couch every night and then back on his bed.  I really enjoyed the precious time we had together on Saturday. 

Here's a couple of photos of the quilts at the show....
