Australia Day 2010 on the Hawkesbury River


Quilts on Display 2010
On Australia Day (26th January), Dangar Island opened to the world and hosted ferry loads of visitors to an art/crafts extravaganza.  Island quilters put up a decent show of their work.  Other artists opened up their studios and the CafĂ©, the Community Hall and the Bowlo’s hosted arty/foodie events.  A community spirited Cap'n put on his BBQ apron and helped dish up countless hot roast lamb sandwiches. This was held on the second hottest day of the summer season... so it seemed.


These pics are from the Quilting Exhibition (obviously).  We all work in different styles and that tends to make for an interesting display.


Some of the quilts were done as community quilts or round robins. although that was before my time as an islander.  I think it's an amazing display for a small group.
