A Meeting with Tilda 25th Jubilee

What a great day. The Tilda Jubilee Celebration was held at the Brisbane Convention Centre on the 17th Feb.  It was a very enjoyable event on many levels. Our tickets included a Talk by Norwegian artist, Tone Finnanger . She spoke about her journey as an art student, toy and quilt designer and eventually a fabric designer. She is one very talented and humble lady. 

The day was hosted by 2 Green Zebras, the distributors of Tilda in Australia. We had morning tea, lunch and shopping.  The food was quality but the shopping squashy but that was to be expected when there was so many people. (600 or so )

Tilda is colourful, whimsical, coordinated and  environmentally  friendly. It just makes me happy to look at it! 

Did I buy some fabric .. Of course 
Did I buy some kits for cushions and bags ... of course. 
Will I be swapping out one of my Chookshed Stitchers challenges for a Tilda Challenge ..of course OR may be I just add another one if that's not OK .  I will have to check up with the boss.

Looks like fun ad I would probably have had to buy something, too, even though I am on a fabric fast. I like the circle one hanging over the bed with a leaf on it.
