I love Agapanthus and they signify 'summer' to the Australian and New Zealand public. I was in Queensland on a conference, It must have been 12 years ago. As I walked out of the venue, the view in front of me was just as I've depicted in the quilt. A picket fence and framed by…

I travel the world teaching and talking.
Photographing and writing,
Sharing experiences
What a way to go.
The pump in the roadway.
I live in Aldgate, in the beautiful Adelaide Hills and today our small town was host to the bike race the Tour Down Under, simply because it was on the route. First of all I set my cameras in the completely wrong direction…. well, they went that way last time I was home to see…
How fast are you dancing.?
It's not me who is dancing too fast It’s not me who is dancing too fastIt’s the violins that play too slowly. – Marie Duplessis, nineteenth-century socialite While traveling, I talk to my family on skype. One day I was talking to Rachael and I could see Tilly dancing in the background. She came forward…
A teaser.
i guess I can show you this much…. this is a tiny weeny part of the back of the quilt.

Challenge No 8 – completed.

Almost finished.
Almost finished. I just have to do the yellow skirt. I've loved doing this, it's taken all day…. the quilt is 10" X 8" and I attacked it with passion this morning. One thing that surprises me… look how much stitching is on there…. and yet the borders have remained flat… no puckers… I think…
