Craftexpo Brisbane

The quilt is currently on display at the Craftexpo which is being held in Brisbane until Sunday. 

It is now so big that it is now longer possible to get it all in one photo if you any to see any detail.

Wrapped in Hexagons

And of course, I'm busy putting hexagons together for the World's Biggest Hexagon Quilt. It will be launched in May, and I will keep you posted about that. Here's the link to the latest update about the Hexagon

MAN HELPS CREATE HEXAGON QUILT !!

This message was received from one of the army of volunteers helping in this marathid challenge.  It was just too much fun not to share:

Judy Crosswell here. I was one of the Beenleigh Quilting members who spent a day at Gatton on Jan 27 to take part in the Giant Hexagon Quilt Working Bee.

As you know, our member Faye Bowman, has encouraged us to continue the Working Bee back home so a group of us have been making hexagons, sewing them together into rosettes, sewing these then into rows and sewing the rows together. Then comes the fiddly part - removing the papers!!

I have found a novel way to do this - enlist my husband Gordon's help! The attached photo shows this; he has even been heard to comment that it is quite addictive. And I have heard him curse some of the tiny stitches holding the papers in!

As this is mainly a "girls"effort I thought you should know that the men are with us all the way!!

What a trooper.  Good on ya Gordon!
