When I am in Melbourne the Australasian Quilt Convention will be happening! I plan to spend a day or two there…and there is a great reason for that (beyond the amazing quilts that will be there)!
Drumroll please…
I will have 4 quilts on display there as an International Artist! This past week I got the quilt images in with my bio and photo. I am so darn excited. I contacted them cause I couldn’t find any info on a juried show part of the show. This quilt conference brings together all the winning quilts from all over Australia so they don’t have a juried show of their own. How exciting to be able to see the award winning quilts all one place. I have never been to a big show so I am really excited about checking it out!
I will post photos of me and the quilts when the show is on. If you know anyone in Melbourne I would love to meet them during that weekend!!!!
I have a very big smile on my face! I am sooooooo excited and honoured to have been asked to bring some quilts.
Two more comments and I can send out my first package of cards for 2014! 😉 Will it be you?
Have a great week. Only 8 working days left!

No we didn’t know about the convention. It was mentioned by an Australian quilter who was here to teach last fall. We already had bought our tickets. I am really excited about it.
