This year the exhibition features quilts from Jo Morton from USA.
Jo was there with her DH. Jo is a very gracious lady who was very generous with her time and knowledge.
Hanging in the barn are dozens of Jo's quilts as well as many quilts made by ladies such as Linda Collins (who organises and holds Quilts in the Barn) and Dorothy Ramage.
All funds raised from the 3 days of the exhibition are donated to breast cancer research. For location and other details go here.
The weather was perfect for a cup of tea and bite to eat outside in the sun. There was a slight breeze that created a drift of apple blossom petals in the air. I saw Elyte, Di Hall (Di Ford of Sarah Morrell quilt and many others fame) and I met several new ladies. The Quilted Crow ladies also had fabric and supplies available for purchase.
All the quilts in this post were made by Jo Morton.
The quilt below was my favourite. It will be featured in a book by Jo to be released later this year.
A couple more quilts.
Happy Fathers Day for tomorrow to all the fathers out there.
Have a great weekend.
I love the one you say is your favorite as well!

Lovely to catch up with you again. We picked the same favourite. I can see us both rushing for that book at the end of October. Maybe we can sew along together.
ReplyDeleteIt looks like you have had a great time meeting new people and viewing the quilts. Your favorite is my favorite too and i remember seeing somewhere in a newsletter from a shop in USA talking about this quilt coming out in a book at the end of October and they are also going to offer it as a BOM in January 2012 using Jo's fabric but for the life of me i can't remember the shop offering it. Have to go and put my thinking cap on.
