Sydney Quilt Market

June 22, 2012

Hello Everyone

Early in June I went to the Sydney Quilt Market which is a trade show for retailers only. I had my first stand as a pattern designer under my name Sharon Keightley Designs. Very Exciting! I met with lovely people from all over Australia and got to know some of the other designers that were at the show. Everyone was very helpful and friendly, I am keen to do this again in November in Melbourne. I had a great time seeing the sites of Sydney, as believe it or not I had never been there before.

Here are some pictures of my stand and the sites of Sydney.

At night we were treated to a fabulous light show on all the buildings around the Opera House.

The Show was held in the overseas passenger terminal, we had a lovely view of the Opera House from here.

Other peoples holiday pictures are never that interesting, but I hope you have enjoyed these.

Happy Stitching

Sharon
