Quilt and Textile Temptations

 Quilt Group Inner City Circle (ICC) had our bi-annual show last Saturday.
This year we had a slightly different format for the show. We featured our quilts, had a sales table full of hand crafted goodies, unveiled the challenge and this year we also had several demonstrations including felting, up-cycling, jazzing up t-shirts and image transfer. We also had a live project with the girls from PPP (Purple Paddo Patchers) making a quilt in a day.  

 Visitors to the show also received a cuppa, something sweet and a couple of sandwiches.

Several of Marrys' beautiful tea cosys decorated the tables.

The Broadstroke girls also displayed a selection of their mixed media works and Mel (me) with a selection of my Spoonflower fabrics as well as demonstrating fabric collage and glue image transfer.
We had a beautiful day and the weather was perfect.
