I’ve been away for a few days at the Melbourne Quilt Show.
This year I stayed down in Melbourne for three nights so it was a mini getaway. And very nice it was too 
Winter in Melbourne, so pretty
Karen at Somerset Patchwork has Quilt Station’s Banyan Tree Medallion Quilt on her stand this year with the patterns for sale.
Banyan Tree Medallion Quilt
It looks great (if I do say so myself LOL) on her stand, it’s a while since I’ve seen it in the real as it belongs to my friend Brenda, Thank you Brenda for the loan again.
I really have to get on with my version two but I keep starting new things.
The Banyan Tree was my quilt design which my LQG The Goldfields Quilters made for our 2010 Exhibition.
Our newest quilt for our 2012 exhibition is called Entwined in Time and was designed and made by our members.
We were thrilled to see it get second place in the Group Quilt Category.

Jennifer’s quilt Leannah, aka Texas Rose Baskets looked wonderful on display too.
Texas Rose Baskets ~ detail, by Jennifer Murray
I know that this has been a long project of Jenn’s so it’s fantastic to see it finished and hanging.
A quilt I quilted was awarded second place in the Two Person Traditonal Category (amateur/professional)
Pattie is also a member of my LQG and I was thrilled to see her get a prize, hehe I get a ribbon too
Pattie's version of Nearly Insane, called Persistence
One small quilt that absolutely blew me away is by Julie Adamson.
Detail of appliqued paisleys, silk and batiks by Julie Adamson.
The detail in this small quilt is incredible, I kept going back to look over and over. The work in it is very fine indeed.
Thank you Julie for allowing me to show it.
There really are some fabulous quilts on display, it’s still on for today and tomorrow.
Linda at Quilts in the Barn has some wonderful photo’s too so have a look here too.
I am just about to head off to teach a class in Gisborne so I will keep moving.
