Thanks to Shaaryn, we Brisbanites got together today at the Brisbane City Council Library. I had a quick coffee first at the Coffee Club - great view.
In the square in front of the library are these large balls.
On closer inspection you find that they are composed of strainers (remember those saucepans - they were shaped so that three of them would fit on the same burner).
I love the flower design as well as a hexagon shape.
There was a good turnout and some inspiring show and tell.
Here's Pam's quilt -
and another one by Pam (a
Kids Quilts kit/pattern).
Shaaryn's quilt uses leaders and enders (see
Bonnie's site for more info).
It was great to catch up with Carmel (who lives in Melbourne during term time, and in Brisbane during the holidays).
Carmel loves stitcheries. She also loves cats - see her
blog.
Eldonna had the most beautiful bag made by a friend -
and showed us the top she started in a Robyn Pandolph workshop
Felicity had some beautiful felt pieces (works in progress), Alison brought along photos, and Chris and Beth brought each other for show and tell!
This tasted EXACTLY like the Hungarian "tejbegriz" my mother used to make when I was little - a tasty dish and time travel at the same time - what a bonus!
Mum used to cut the firm polenta into wedges or squares, coat them in breadcrumbs and fry the pieces. They were then topped with jam - a YUMMY dessert!!!
and now my lucky digits easily dance and dart across a keyboard like this - tra la la....
I took some photos but they are for personal use only I'm afraid. The piece I wanted to bring home is "My Beautiful Country" by Alex Blacklock.
