World Quilt Show photos (and the Peacock Party)

Scroll down for the World Quilt Show photos.

Today I'm waiting for the courier to bring my Portraits quilt back from the quilter.  She sent me some photos and it's looking amazing.  This is the back, showing the quilting off very nicely. I'm so glad I bought an Anna Maria Horner print for the back. 

I've got two options for the binding set aside, but I don't want to cut it until I see the quilt again.


Thank you for all your kind comments about the World Quilt Show.  A number of kind Facebook friends said they attended the show and some even sent me photos.  these photos are by Mary Ellen Hughes Orchard.
My quilt was the first one people saw when they went upstairs to the second floor.  I was honoured to have the New Zealand flag hanging beside my quilt.

Now it's time for the Peacock Party.  What have you been up to this week?  Feel free to link up below.

Vibrant Curiosities in the World Quilt Show - plus the Peacock Party

Another week has flown by, and it's Friday again.  I'm looking forward to the weekend for sure!

If you're planning on visiting the World Quilt Show in Springfield, Massachusetts, this weekend, you might want to keep an eye out for my Vibrant Curiosities quilt.  It is one of the quilts from New Zealand in the exhibition. This is the first time I've entered this competition.  I'm not totally sure of how this show works, but I do know that New Zealand, Australia, Japan and Germany get to send a certain number of quilts to the show.  I was thrilled to have my quilt chosen. 

Vibrant Curiosities is made with mainly Tula Pink fabrics, and is English Paper Pieced and hand quilted.  It's lovely and soft, and drapes beautifully due to the wool batting.  You can read more about it here. 

This exhibition will also be travelling to:
World Quilt New England: Springfield, Massachusetts
 Pennsylvania National Quilt Extravaganza: Oaks, Pennsylvania
Pacific International Quilt Festival: Santa Clara, California
World Quilt Florida 2020: To Be Announced

So I'm not going to get my quilt back for quite some time!

Do let me know if you go to one of these shows and see it there. 

Now to the Peacock Party.  What have you been up to this week?  Feel free to add a link below.
