Ballarat the Beautiful II: The Quilt Show

.... here is the next instalment of my Ballarat getaway.  On the Sunday afternoon, the fun continued.  My aunt and I went to see the Ballarat Quilters Quilt show.  So many gorgeous quilts on display. These are some of my favourites:





 Here is my aunt admiring yet another amazing quilt.











I hope that you enjoyed seeing them.

Blessing on you all, 
P.S. In the time that has past since I drafted this post and saved it for posting today, my DFIl has been hospitalised with a chest infection. It would mean so much to me if you could send your prayers and good wishes his way (it worked for my mother who, despite being at death's door six weeks ago, is still with us. 
Thank you and hugs, Kaye
