I’m part (a very small part) of a program that features the crafts of various countries. The team seek out master craftsmen from countries around the world and shares their talent with the us all. I’m looking after the cast members and I’m featuring as a Master Craftsman in Antigua using a combination of indigenous art to crate the new.

SAQA – Wild Fabrications – International Quilt Festival Houston 2015.
I think this was one of my favorite exhibitions.
The “dinner” quilts shown at the International Quilt Festival Houston.
As promised I’m sharing the “Whats for Dinner” category from Houston. I thought they were wonderful. I’m sorry a few of the names are a little blurred. However, they were quite difficult to photograph due to the angle and lighting on the table.
I don’t have the catalogue here with me, it was sent home in the other luggage.
Capturing, color, enthusiasm and the delight of Antigua Guatemala, for my quilt inspired friends.
I began my day by writing an article for a student in South Africa, then yes my dear friends I hit Antigua hard today. I started out in ‘fancy schmancy’ clothes and went back for the shorts and t shirt and of course the Mexican hat because I was just too hot.

My world through the lens – capture and create.
I’ve not picked up the camera in two days, which is pretty much a record for me. Capturing what I see is just something I do. Something I’ve done for as long as I can remember and it’s an integral part of my day. With the advent of digital imaging and smart phones, a photo…

Then snap… so some of the images are a little crooked at times.
The Fabric Trail – Houston International Quilt Festival
Well, here we are, the wonderful Quintessential Quilt Event is over, the bags are packed, the patrons have wended their way home and there were just a few die hard guests at breakfast this morning. Today, my husband Keith and our friend Julie Haddrick, laden with luggage leave the shores and I continue on for another 3 weeks of adventures.
I wanted to take the opportunity to share with you the exhibition curated by Julie. The group are from our home city. Adelaide and the exhibition is sponsored in part by our local Guild.
Award Winners at the International Quilt Festival Houston
Best of Show.
I’m always in awe of the Best of Show quilts and this year is no exception. In this post I feature two award winning quilts.
Words don’t do them justice.
Visiting the booths at the International Quilt Festival Houston.
Yesterday afternoon I had my first visit to the booths at the International Quilt Festival in Houston. They start at 109 and end at 2948. That’s one heck of a lot of booths to get around and look at. That’s a lot of pounding the red carpet.
