Canberra Quilt Show and tACTile Exhibition

I spent  wonderful day in Canberra today.  After several years I again went to the Canberra Quilt Show.  I really enjoyed it.  A stand out element of this quilt show is that it is a designed show compared to Sydney Quilt Show.  The groupings of the quilts really show them off to the best advantage.  Jenny Bowker’s quilt won Best of show and was a standout of the show.  To see it go to http://cqconnecting.blogspot.com.au/2013/08/exhibition-opened-today-results-of.html.

As I was in Canberra only for the day and I knew I would miss the tACTile exhibition I had a chance to get a sneak preview.  All I can say is WOW!!!!!!  It blew me away.  A most wonderful exhibition.  It was so professionally put together and the innovative, creative side of the artists – Jenny Bowker,  Dianne Firth, Helen Gray, Beth Miller and the Beth and Trevor Reid partnership was awe inspiring.

When I left early in the morning it was snowing and this week the snow has finally come to the resorts and stayed.
