I am thrilled to share that my textile art piece, "Sound of Silence," won three awards at the Vic Quilters Showcase 2024, including the prestigious Runner-Up Best of Show.

Born to be out front.
Aren't we lucky to have the internet? I received an email from a person at the International Quilt Market, Houston, with a photo of 'Born to be Wild' at the front of the one of the entry doors into the Quilt display. There they were, with the ribbon, my Artist Statement pinned to the curtain. I was awarded, 'Innovative Artistry' sponsored by Janome America, one of the major prizes.

Crazy Week of Ups and Downs...
So while we all go into shock with the news of Queen Elizabeth II passing. I seemed to be watching endless tributes and documentaries on her life and found it all so fascinating. What a Woman! I can talk endlessly about her but I think most would still know more than me.

I wasn't allowed to mention it until IQF Hou

August is nearly over! Wow, the year has gone so quickly. As it's been too long again since updating the news here on my website.

More on this soon. Coming up in the immediate future though is an exhibit of some of my works at

It's been way too long.
Life gets busy and time passes so quickly. All these intentions to keep up with news and social media...arh well, one day rolls into the next and so on! With acceptances and rejections a constant, I've managed to get things done. Now moving on, next week or in 5 sleeps I'm heading off to Brisbane to hang about 10 pieces at AQC 2022 (Australasian Quilt Convention). This is pretty exciting for me as AQC back in the day was the first time I ever saw such a thing call Art Quilt

My Exhibition so far so good!
Well I started my week like this.... What fun! Kyabram Town Hall Gallery is hosting my textile exhibit until the end of April and they invited Win News from the local TV Network to come do a story on my work in the exhibit. As a bonus so many ladies happen to come as well that morning which made it even more fun. You can watch the news report here.
