That's Ted, Trish, Lyn and RonnieOUR DAY AT THE AUSTRALIAN QUILT CONVENTION
27th January, 2006 - It was a hot and steamy day, expected temp 38 degrees but storms and wet weather due. So the humidity was high and my "power surges" were making me uncomfy.
After picking up Lyn Brumby on the way into the city, chatting all theway into town we arrived at "Jeff's Shed" (The Melbourne Exhibition Centre) just after 10am and met Sharlee 52 and Trishj - Sharon and Trish.
The ice was quickly broken by chatting in the queue, we then waltzed around the stalls and into the quilt area to view some of the spectacular exhibits in the Convention. We met up with Ted-Scout, Trisha and then back to shop out the bargains. I bought some gorgeous oriental fabrics and couldn't keep my fingers out of the button trays. Lyn and I checked out all the quilting machines and am impressed to say the least. I just need another room to put it in - Oh and the money to pay for it.....
The Aussie quilt exhibits were gorgeous but I must say some of the International exhibits just grabbed me and I couldn't stop looking at the workmanship in them. Spectacular to say the least.
I have taken some pics of the quilts and us girls so that you can put a name to the faces you talk to on the forums.
Hugs from
Ronnie

You did a great job with the photos ronnie... Even the two I took turned out... It sounds as though you guys had a very lucrative time of it all...
Good on you for venturing into 'blogland' Ronnie, another detour for us on our way to the sewing room :)
Love the photos too, nice to put names to faces - although no-one looks quite how I had imagined. So where was your pretty picture Sharon ? :)
Thanks for the photos.
I love to be able to put faces on the names. Sharon we will get to see your lovely face another time I assume.
I'm so glad you've come a blogging Ronnie!
And thank you for the opportunity to meet some of you "in the flesh"......well at least I know what you look like now!
(Is Shar camera shy??)
I'm still drooling over that CQed masterpiece!
