For those of you not from Brisbane, the Ekka is the colloquial name given to our Royal Queensland Agricultural Show. I haven't been to the show for near on 12 years so it was a real treat to go with my dear friend, Helen.
Just want to share some of my favourite photos for the day.

| This was my favourite.....I just loved the blue hues. |
All in all we spent 6 hours at the show. Wandered around the food pavillion sampling various goodies and treating
ourselves to stawberries dipped in chocolate served on a kebab stick. Mmmmmmmm! We took every opportunity to pat the dogs, cats, sheep, cows and horses. Viewed the quilts, cakes, crafts and paintings and even came home with a showbag each.
All in all, an awesome day at the Ekka!
Looks like a great time....love, love, love that smocking!
ReplyDeleteYou take such beautiful pictures! I have the pattern of the first quilt you showed. I have 4 blocks made I think. So very pretty.
ReplyDeleteLove your photos Cath. I had one of those apple slinkies too and it was delicious. Looks like you and I did almost the exact things! Love the Ekka. Thanks for sharing your gorgeous photos x
