A few of the quilts that caught my eye are below:
"Diagonal Madness" by Terry and Jennifer Minchinton of South Australia;
"On the Amstel River" by Denise Griffiths of Shellharbour;
"Lots of Dots - a Circle Sampler" by Chris Jurd from Blaxland.
With such a high standard, it couldn't have been easy to judge this show and I think the judges got it right generally. To see all the prize winners click here and make sure you check out the other 4 categories by clicking on the red bars below the banner. I think it was a great show.
All the visual stimulation encouraged me enormously. Particularly
They are plates of sweet and savoury food knitted by the "Knitters Guild of NSW" who also had a stall at the show. I came home with enough wool to knit a jumper (translation - sweater) and cardigan. Seems like I may have gone over to the dark side.

I love Diagonal Madness and Lots of Dots. Thanks for sharing!
I love knitting too - so does that mean I'm on the dark side?? Oh well may the force be with you while you work on your jumper - loved the quilts you picked out and shared.
Thanks for adding the link to the winners. My favs are Freedom and Mini Magic.
The river quilt in your picture is so much prettier than the "official" one. Would have loved to see these beautiful quilts in person. Be sure to post pictures of the jumper as you are knitting it. I haven't been bit by the sweater bug yet but I'm sure I will eventually :0) What color wool did you buy?

Beautiful quilts. Alot of my quilting friends also knit, I have never learned how. There are definately as many beautiful yarns and threads as there are fat quarters. Quilting and knitting both mean contentment to me.
Happy Stitching,

It is very hard to resist knitting's Siren call.
