“Timeless Treasures”, Melbourne Quilt Show 2010

As usual, the quilt show put on by the Seaside Piecemakers, was totally fabulous.  Of course, the quilts were wonderful!  But other highlights included a delightfully creative doll display, well stocked vendors, a silent auction, demonstrations, socializing (one of my favorite activities,) and more!

Want to see some of my personal favorites?  Here you go.

Viewer’s Choice went to Pam Hensel, for her BEAUTIFULLY beaded quilt,
