Bordertown Quilt Show...

Saturday 21 October saw a trip to Bordertown for the Gum Tree Quilters show...I had intended to go for the weekend but life got in the way and that wasn't going to happen so some Stawell Quilters friends offered me a spot in the car I was glad to accept.  A treat to spend the day with friends and not have to drive for once!  A first stop at Dimboola Ag Show so the driver could fulfill her judging commitment and we arrived at the Bordertown venue ready for lunch - the first person I saw when I walked in was Jo! They were finishing lunch before heading out for a while...they came back as we were having afternoon tea prior to leaving...good timing both ways!  It was lovely to see Jo, Tony, Jude (and B) & Pat...

This embroidered clock grabbed my attention straight off at the entrance into the show area...
Jude's churn dash quilt (Chooky's challenge) and Moda Love quilt (which I didn't get to see at Baradine)...good to see them in real life and not just on zoom...

Wide variety in the quilts on show...
Best in Show - congratulations Jude!...
Hexies...
Arty...
Mini quilts created for a SA Quilters Appraisal Panel members professional development exercise...
There was a second display of past winning quilts...was this one stitchery/embroidery/applique?
Up close it was the most amazing surface embroidery... 
Great show Gum Tree Quilters, congratulations.
 
Happy Stitching...
