7.00 am, and we left Alice. It was calm and quiet, and when we stepped out of the door of hotel the air smelled of dew on the grass. It was delicious. I’m aware that there’s been a lot of rain recently, but I don’t think that’s the only reason it’s so green, I remember…

I travel the world teaching and talking.
Photographing and writing,
Sharing experiences
What a way to go.
Who knows what we will encounter at the next exciting turn.
“Don’t undervalue what you do.” Pam I don’t know about you, but sometimes I feel as though I’m going backwards.Then I stopped and took stock. “Where has that week gone”? I spent all of last week working on a program, and when I begin something like that, I can’t stop in the middle and do…
Things I see when I visit the shack.
(The shack is a 1950’s holiday house, it was destroyed by vandal renters, but we are finally getting it back to its former glory) Back home preparing to pack for our outback trip. It’s just a couple of days away and the cameras are being cleaned and packed. We’ll only need summer clothes, the temperatures…
Good for the soul.
I’m sitting in the kitchen and reviewing my class for tomorrow. The shack has worked its magic once again, and the peace and ambience are a gift to the soul. I have a Bollywood movie playing in the background and the ending soon to come is dramatic and predictable. I didn’t bring the dogs up…
The time has come.
Goodness me, it’s so long since I’ve written my blog, but things are about to change, and I need a space to share, so it’s back to the blog, shall I venture to say, it’s with a degree of enthusiasm and a little dash of doubt that I can do it as regularly as I…

The weeks seem to be flying by.I usually travel ten months of the year to far-flung places, sharing my ideas on Textile Art, photography and travel.Sixteen months have gone by, and the world has changed due to the Covid Virus. I’m home working in the studio, and goodness knows how long it will be before…
Aurifil Artisan representation for June 2021.
Goodness me, here we again, and I hope to be more proactive this season. I had finished a few small projects earlier this month, and then I was surprised by urgent surgery on my dominant hand, which will now be in plaster for the next month or so. Before surgery, my package arrived from Italy,…
New year, New ideas and old and my Aurifil Artisan information for this month.
I’m going to share my life project.It’s my Mount Everest, and I’ve been working through the process of the re-creation of the Bayeux Tapestry as a quilt for almost 16 years. Research, I have every book I can find that was written about the Bayeux Tapestry and a vast library of information on William the…
Aurifil Artisans. November Challenge.
Hand Quilting. I must admit I have added hand quilting to many of my quilts in recent years. I enjoy a combination of machine stitching and what is more commonly known as slow stitching. At this very moment due to hand surgery, I’m restricted to just one hand, and that’s not performing well either. This…
Let’s draw on the iPad..
I use my iPad for most of my designing. It’s such an advantage to have everything in front of you visually, and you can make changes without having to unpick, re-draw or re-make.The first class will be how to use the Apps.I use Adobe Draw, Adobe Fresco and Adobe Capture. Adobe Sketch has been superseded…
