I spent a enjoyable day at the Craft show in Darling Harbour with Gabs today. We started at 10am and by 3pm, we were both exhausted! I didn't really buy anything nor did I want to buy anything - I've got enough unfinished craft projects to do! I just felt like a day out to see what was there and hopefully get inspired. It is one of my resolutions to make my own patchwork quilt(s) one day. Hopefully I'm getting closer to that goal.
This is one of my favorite quilts at the show. Looks like the judges liked it too. 
This quilt was made by a 7-year old. It also won a prize in the junior quilter category. What a clever seven year old!! This picture encouraged me to make a start soon. 
I like the colour of this one, a clever design too.
This looked stunning from afar. I think I should start with a simple square one that doesn't require complicated maneuvers of a sawing machine. I actually saw a quilt at the show that could be my first project. I didn't buy the kit ($150) as it would only fit on top of a single bed. Am I being too ambitious to want to do a quilt for our king-size bed as a first quilt project?

Sounds like a fun day. How do you find out about these events or do I just live in a cave? Anyhow I got my quilt out last weekend that my Grandmother made as a wedding present and we have it on the bed at present. It is gorgeous but it must have taken her so much time.
Why don't you start with a heirloom style one for gorgeous Lara something she can pass down the line to the next generation. It would be easier to pack-up and unpack until you move etc, unless you are extremely good at keeping your craft tidy, I am not.
