Wyndham Quilt-In

I joined Carol for a day out with the Quilting Ladies. We went to something they call a quilt-in which is where loads of women gather to chat and quilt and drink copious amounts of tea. Talk about overwhelming! It was in Werribee I think, which is quite a drive, and it was held in a modern church complete with pulpit. There was a speaker, a famous quilter who showed everyone her quilts (wow just quietly!), and it was themed - the mad hatters tea parts - so there were some incredible and very creative hats around. But all the women were there for one thing only - quilting. There was talk about quilting and help and tips exchanged and patterns bought and door prizes of quilting stuff given to everyone and some amazing quilts on display for 'show and tell'. It was marvelous and scary and fascinating and a total sensory overload. I was the youngest there by at least a decade but I can tell I was totally exhausted by the end of the day. Fun!
