Quiltshow "Pour l'Amour Du Fil" (4)

As promised, we are going to  Sydney, Australia to meet Brigitte Giblin and Kathy Doughty.

Be ready for a completely different universe... or so I thought... full of colours, light, sunshine!!! Life in full bloom.

I thought it was very different from the traditional quilts but there are so many things in common, too! The patterns are not so different. My natural attraction goes to antique quilts using neutral colors. I tend to prefer taupes, browns, faded blues and greys to any other colors. Yet, one of the first big quilt I made was Spring Garden by Liza Prior Lucy using Kaffe Fasset fabric collections. It was not a flashy quilt though! But Kathy Doughty's quilts attract my eye. I like them but I am afraid of using colors in my quilts. I am not creative at all. That's why I went to a class with Kathy. I have learnt a lot. But more about that in the post about the classes.
Enjoy these colourful quilts which are, as kathy says, a promise of joy!

What a fascinating trip around the world! And visiting the houses was not everything you could see at the show.

  6. Your blog is wonderful, I have been following for just a little while and you have already inspired me to take a Jackie DuPlessis class with SNS. I loved it and will hopefully take more of her classes. Your quilting is gorgeous, I wish I had more time to do more of that as well. Good luck with your renovations and please post pictures of it!!
