We had a day out today and despite the fact that the burglar alarm in the studio went off twice… we had a lovely time. We sat under a red and white umbrella and sampled grilled barramundi. A good idea for a quilt? This little quilt has the blue of the sky, a funky…

It’s getting better and better, – taking quilting one step further.
I've had a good day today, the weather was superb, 35 deg and sunny. I finished another project and I'm thrilled with the results, but once again it's one of those that I can't show just yet….. oooh it's delicious…. I finished all that darn paperwork and got all the folders ready for the event…
Things to see in Sydney.
I can't believe that I've spent an entire day without my camera at my side. I visited friends today and I knew the photo opportunities would be limited so I left it at the hotel because I had to carry quilts on the train. I leave Sydney for home tomorrow and the weekend is pretty…
The Design is in the detail.

Almost out – aggies today.
This is the sketch for the next quilt.

AgaPAMthus No 1.
Well, I guess it's sort of finished. It's rather boring looking really. BUT. I am happy with the way the pencil worked on the fabric. It's waxy and resists the water when you spray it to get rid of the blue liner pen. I did re-apply a light coating of the pencil on part of…
