Long post and lots of photos.
Yesterday afternoon a group of 85 ladies and 2 men were lucky enough to be entertained in our small town by the singing quilter Cathy Miller and her husband John. Cathy is a very talented singer/song writer as well as quilter and teacher.
Everyone ready and anxiously waiting for the start and some not knowing what to expect as not all were quilters.
What a wonderful afternoon it was
as Cathy and John sang their delightful songs, mostly about quilting. Cathy showed us her gorgeous quilts and told the story about each song. Some were funny and some a little sad.
Cathy’s Quilts.
Reverse Quilts.
Aussie Fabrics
Over 3000 1/2 inch Hexagons Cathy stitched together on her travels around the world. Just Amazing.
As I sat and listened and looked around the room I could not help but feel a little sad. Sue, who had organised it all had had a turn in the morning and could not be there.
Pleased you are home Sue and feeling better.
The ladies busy in the kitchen BECAUSE we could not have any sort of quilters show without the delicious food.
Afternoon tea for everyone.
and for some it was just too much!!!
P.S. This morning Cathy and John joined the swimming ladies at the beach for a dip and brekky by the sea.
What a gorgeous couple. Hope they come again soon.
Thanks heaps Sue for bringing them here.
