very very clever arn't they. They must have the patience of a saint, i don't think you will ever see a quilt that small made by me.....
Amazing......
Wow. :-) I'm speechless.
Beautifull little quilts.
Oh my word - I like doing fiddly things but I know that if I were to do one of those it would quickly become a UFO.
They were amazing. Enjoy the school holidays! The early morning craziness is over for a couple of weeks. Yay!
OMG those quilts are unreal,absolutely beautiful .Thankyou chooky for showing us them.
Enjoy your 2 weeks holidays.
WOW
Enjoy your holidays
Thanks for all the quilt show pics Chooky, I wasn't able to get to ours this year, so this was fantastic...absolutely love the quilt pictures, and your buys remind me of my stash when I go!!.... enjoy your break..
I am lost for words
Okay you have pulled me out of lurkdom..those minis are just so gorgeous!! oh thanks so much for the references on the size of them. Just gorgeous.
p.s. I love your header picture it is just perfect
Amazing work. Thanks for sharing.
I was blown away with the level of skill on display amongst the quilts both large and small......I could have spent a full day alone just examining the various skills......
I have had the great pleasure of seeing Mariya's work in progress, I used to look after her when I worked at the shop. She is the most incredible artist I have ever come across. I can't wait to get to the Melbourne show to see the displays. I am doing a fly in fly out at the end of July.
They were definitely incredible. I would never even attempt them LOL
Enjoy your holidays!
Fantastic quilts...so amazing...
hugs Dawn x x
Beautiful mini quilts. Mariya Waters' work is stunning! She is a great teacher too.
Enjoy the holidays! :)
Awesome comes to mind. What a great show this year - wonderful quilts and wonderful shopping.
I'm always amazed at how anyone can make a mini quilt like those. They're all so detailed and beautiful!!
Oh my goodness! I always thought I'd love to do some small quilts but this is not quite what I was imagining! I haven't conquered 'large' needleturn yet let alone something of that size!!! Enjoy the holidays!
Would love to do one of these....how good are they..
I thought they were beautiful too. The amount of work in some of them was unbelievable. They didn't tempt me to try them - I don't think I'd have the patience!
Enjoy the hols - hope you get some sewing time in :)
Wow, wow, wow, that last quilt is stunning, I can´t imagine how she could make it.
