First and second places in the professional - commercially quilted section of the 2009 Queensland Quilters Inc. annual show went to Judi Bellingham (above) for "Taking leaf of my senses" and Vicki Jarrett for "Summertime in Iluka." This completes the hat-trick: Kathy quilted winning quilts for Karen Mersiades in 2007 and Robyn Mallett in 2008 in this same section. Also in 2008, Kathy quilted the Qld Quilters Inc raffle quilt which won Best in Show at the Brisbane RNA Exhibition, and the Toowoomba Quilters Inc. raffle quilt which won 3rd place in the group/collaborative quilt section of the same show. 2009 also saw the first outing by KoolKat as vendors at the Brisbane Craft and Quilt show.
