Art Painted surface quilts from the International Quilt Festival 2016.
I can finally share some of the quilts that I love and have huge admiration for.
What do you look for in a quilt?
I look for design, depth, visual impact and meaning. I personally think that the quilting should be outstanding at this level.
People, Art and portraits… take a look folks it will blow your mind. International Quilt Festival Houston.
Daylight saving has given me an extra hour today for which I am grateful. We leave for the Caribbean today and I won’t be able to access good internet, so I’m taking the opportunity to post a few more images before we leave. I have more to add, but I don’t have the time right…
And the winners are. Houston Quilt Festival.
Grab a cuppa, share with your friends and enjoy the beauty of these quilts.

I’ve done this small blog twice and lost it once, so this is it.
It’s almost 3.00 am. At home I could get up and with coffee in hand wend my way across the brick courtyard to the studio. But here in Antigua Guatemala we have just one large room so it’s a bit difficult to do my usual thing of getting up early and working without disturbing husband…
This is how I see the world. – share it with me
This is for all of you who love children and who believe in the future…

Enjoy this two minutes of loveliness.
This is how I see the world.
We think we know it all – how wrong can we be.
Working in primitive conditions, in an area the size of a small bedroom, the most amazing pieces of fabric come to life. Who would imagine that this beautiful fabric was dyed with mud.
Jaipur, Design, inspiration.
Its getting harder to keep up with the blog, I’m a day behind but all I can say is this is probably the most amazingly visual trip I have ever undertaken.
Mixed emotions, sadness and sheer joy. A textile journey.
We began the tour with a visit to the historic India gate. Whilst photographing the landmark itself, we noticed 50 or more women working in the gardens close by. They carried long hand-made brooms and their brightly colored clothing was obscured at times by a small cloud of dust as they swept the ground. Some ladies were crouched pulling weeds. The temperature and the humidity was in the 90’s, I just can’t imagine how hard that is.
