I had a wonderful day at the Textile Arts Festival. The first thing I did was visit the State of the Art quilt 11 exhibition, where my Cycle of Life quilt looked very good on the black wall :-)). The other quilts in the exhibition were stunning! You can see all of them here.
Here is my artist's statement - I forgot to copy it to my computer and couldn't remember wat I wrote!
Down Under Quilts had a postcard competition and the postcards were on display - there are three of mine in the top right section:
And here is my loot - mainly books and magazines, one Paintstick and a gorgeous piece of fabric from Dyed and Gone to Heaven. I signed up for their Monthly Metres Club again - after all, I have used up some of their fabrics recently, so need some new ones!
My ticket to the Festival was also valid for the Scrapbook and Papercraft Expo, so I had a look there - not really my cup of tea, I'm afraid... By a lucky coincidence, the Lifeline Book Fest was on at the Exhibition Centre as well and I happily spent a few hours there. Found lots of books in the unpriced section to use for making cards (fairytale books, atlases etcetera).
All in all a very good day! :-)

Linda - your quilt was a "stand out" at the exhibition. Just wonderful! Thanks for sharing it - and wearing your scarf too!
What a thrill seeing your quilt on the wall! Was this your first big exhibition or are you an old pro?
Wat sta je daar heerlijk trots naast je quilt. En terecht, hij is prachtig!
