Austin, baby!

EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!

It's HERE!!!!!!!
So much quilty inspiration
my baby!!!!
I worked a shift as a volunteer and ended up hand stitching the binding to the back of the new MQG banner. It has a perimeter of about 7 metres and there were three of us working on it at once to get it finished in time. Not a bad task, especially because it was quilted by Angela Walters.
that's my dress in the foreground, not part of the quilt
Tomorrow I'm going to a few lectures and doing some shopping. I'm also planning on spending some time communing with the quilts. There's an exhibition of Denyse Schmidt's quilts that I may just stand in for about three hours. While drooling.
