What does the morning bring.
Strong coffee in hand, listening to Spanish music very loudly. Designing a wrought iron balustrade for a 9 story building…. (not too shabby for a quilter) Finishing the Logo for our new Hotel Spa, College and Gallery.
A day in the life of a quilter.
No sewing today… lots of illustration for a specific project.. A baby in the studio on my desk as I work Babies in the house. Then switch tack and have a business lunch and work out some very exciting things for the future. So stay tuned.
When I'm at home, my morning resume begins early. With coffee made and the first sip tantalising and promising the comfort of breakfast. I open up my Ipad and it props in front of me while I eat my toast. In a short time, I can view the most amazing photos online from photographers around…

We had a swim and lounged inside eating icecream. I watched TV, she sat with her portable DVD player on her small craft table… "I have a surprise for…
Street work quilting.
This is the back of the quilt. I have a large stash and I never buy fabric for a quilt back, I like to use the fabric I have stored away. The apple and newspaper piece was a wonderful cotton table cloth I picked up at an Antique Mall in the US. Its vintage, but…

I've had it two months and still learning a lot about it. It's a whole new language.
