The day began very early…or was it just that I didn't sleep well? I was out in the studio at 4.00 and found myself emotional watching the Dawn Service for ANZAC day. The studio was in desperate need of a tidy. I can't work in a mess and somehow projects had begun to pile up….

Photo Journal Australasian Quilt Conference.
I've been working in the shed all day, going from one thing to another like a mad thing. I've added a photo journal of some of the quilts and things I viewed at The Australasian Quilt Conference. I will add more over the next couple of days. Please respect the quilt makers by not reproducing…
Textiles, Treasures and Interesting things.
We walked a lot yesterday, and I'm feeling the painful results today. Its not the walking its carrying the heavy backpack and camera that affects the muscles.
