I’m not going to even comment much on what’s happening in the world right now. I can’t do a darn thing about it.I want to look forward to the next few months and make each day a calm realisation.I miss travel; I miss my students, I miss the smell of the Ocean at Asilomar and…

Life, leisure and luxurious working environments.
It’s some time since I wrote a blog – a few weeks in fact. Now our lives have changed dramatically with the devastation of this terrible virus. I’m so pleased that I’m home. However, I was within 12 hours of flying and I could have been caught in India. That would have been OK with…
A little more of the Quilts from the Houston Quilt Festival.
I flew directly to India after Houston and I still had a lot of images to share but I just rolled into the image of India. So here they are, I’m not sure what category these were in. I think it was colour. Nevertheless, they are gorgeous.
Look out of the window and create a quilt.
This is what it looks like as you fly over Australia. Sometimes I can capture images, sometimes not. This time I flew to right through the centre of Australia from South the North and I captured this image. Come home and make the quilt. Finished.
Working through the process.
Still working on the Giraffe. To be honest I had some doubts after I coloured the background but I quite like it now and I have a lot more planned for it, by that I mean I need to darken the top two edges of the quilt so that your eyes focus on the image…
Bringing your travels back home.
I do it, I do it. My house if full of colour and the work of artists from all over the world. Paintings, Textiles, Garments and artifacts. I sit under a Kantha quilt of indeterminable age at night when I watch TV, made by someone in the magical world of invisible possibility. There’s a stack…
It’s cooler today.
For us, living in the Adelaide Hills, the temperature has dropped and it’s cool once again. There is a stillness in the garden and the agapanthus are almost in full bloom and I love sitting out amongst the foliage and my ‘things’ and working. It’s unreal that our country is in the grip of terrible…
A muddling day.
I began the day with good intention, plans were changed for a meeting at the last minute and it sort of threw me a bit. OK, suck it up sunshine, I wanted to achieve a lot today, but I got sidetracked and washed the bathroom mats and did some cooking. (not my favourite thing) I…
A New Year is like a blank book, and the pen is in your hands. It is your chance to write a beautiful story for yourself.
Goodness me what will the year bring? My calendar tells me that there are only a few squares spare. The blank squares announce a day, a day to myself to fill with ‘my stuff’ My journey in Textile Art will take me to The Dominican Republic, USA, Mexico, India, Morocco, Egypt, Kenya, South Africa, France…
I now have the time to share.
Early mornings, late nights and I needed to concentrate on my task at hand rather than socialise over the past 8 days, so now I’m free for a day and I will photograph and share as much as I can . This is one of the most stunning quilts I viewed. I love everything about…
