I had a lovely day yesterday with the ladies from the Thursday Class........we went to the International Womans Day luncheon.....which was organised and sponsored by Bev Percel at Maleny Magic.....
We enjoyed a delicious lunch with a glass of wine...we were wooed by Kim from the original Ten Tenors.....and then we listen to the amazing Judy Hooworth for an hour.....and I would have loved to have listened to her for another hour or more.....she was very inspiring and her quilts.....OMG.....
The colour Judy uses and how she uses colour is amazing.......I'm so inspired I was ready to go home empty my cupboard and drag out all my orange and purple fabric and start another quilt........but by the time I got home I had calmed down and rationalized the process I decided that maybe I should finish some of my many, many UFO's first.......and then thinking that, I thought, 'oh well'... that gives me some time to collect more orange and purple fabrics........
and here is a photo of Judy and myself
We all had such a great day and we got to spend a little more time with Judy back at Bev's shop....such a lovely lady

At class last Thursday Deb bought in her finished quilt........
Deb has done a fantastic job ......love the border..
The ladies are powering along with their Medallion quilts......
We are machine appliqueing the tops......Libby is using blanket stitch......Deb is doing satin stitch.....and Angela is doing raw edge applique......
The choice for the first border was selected by Deb and she chose a split 4 patch......the first block we made up turned into a 16 patch.....the second go turned out perfectly.....I'm looking forward to seeing them stitched together.......
Here is Pat's table runner.....such beautiful Autumn tones......
This is another runner Pat made over the holidays......Red...black and white.....is so striking.....
Happy stitching ....... Cathy
