Working for me takes many different routes. Sometimes, it’s giving a lecture, sometimes it’s teaching, at other times it’s drawing, writing, stitching and designing in the studio. In all honesty I wouldn’t have it any other way – I have a lot of different roads I want to explore right now and I am indeed…

International Quilt Festival Houston.
This exhibition was called the Power of Women. Actually its a competition so there were no names on the quilts…
I enjoyed the variety of techniques used.
When the names are published I’ll add them.
Quilts from AQS Quilt week
Just a few more of the quilts I loved at the main show. With restricted time, I didn’t even get to the bubble to see some of the other exhibitions.
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.
SAQA – Wild Fabrications – International Quilt Festival Houston 2015.
I think this was one of my favorite exhibitions.
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.

Is it really your quilt, or is it a copy?
Sometimes I sit in lectures at quilt events and listened to people who have a self-determined genre in quilting and I think “goodness how did they think of that” The scope for quilt design is limitless and there are so many ways to come up with a pattern. I for one think that we should use everything that is available to us.
Kenora Quilt Event.
The lake shone like gold this evening. A view from my window. It feels more like summer now. With the miracle of the internet I was finally able to talk to my family…. it's been a whole week and I have to catch up on all the news from home. Its so important when I'm…
International Quilt Show Chicago.
Participants at the luncheon came up close and personal with some highly decorated camels. The race began in a flurry of dust and flaying legs and then Robot jockeys with little hats, and patchwork silks bounced on rounded backs around the 10 mile track and we the viewers followed in four wheel drive amid the noise of the official course broadcaster and the noise of ‘hand on horns’…
