A big thank you to all the lovely people who visited our open studio during the arts trail. We enjoyed meeting you all & everyone was so friendly, positive and happy to be out and about. Here are a few photos. A few of my recent makes for the open studio:
Working title: Weathered and Worn. The quilt is 30 x 50cms and will be my entry in One Red Thread 2018, an exhibition held in August as part of the Berry Quilting Retreat in Berry NSW. The others photos show the piece in progress. It’s made from old tea towels that were very worn & […]
My exhibition finishes next Sunday so I thought I’d show a few pieces from it. These are all done with heat transfer dyes, one of my favourite print techniques, and machine stitching. the 1st 2 are framed pieces & are now sold. The long quilted wall hanging might end up on my wall. Now that […]
Tonight we did the draw for the winner of my giveaway from the Gelatin Printing Enthusiasts Bog Hop. I wrote all the names on paper slips, 2 entries for those who subscribed as well as commented, and asked my husband to draw out 1 from the box. The winner is Nita Waters! So congratulations […]

Monday we made our annual visit to Sculpture by the Sea, Cottesloe, which is always worth seeing. You can see it was a beautiful day – not too hot and we also had a delicious fresh fish lunch at the Cottesloe Hotel. These are my collection of photos – I haven’t added most of the artists names but […]
