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. I couldn't be there this year for a number of reasons. When I opened the email from Lynn Woll t

I made the decision a couple of weeks ago to join my wonderful friend Caroline Sharkey, to go together to the QuiltNSW Exhibition and Show for 2022. We've done this in the past prior to Covid, so it's not unusual. I did manage to get 2 pieces in that came back from AQS (American Quilters Society) in Des Moines, USA, in a nick of time. Arrangements made to pass it on to Catherine Butterworth whom dropped them off to judging. Well that was worth it and I'd like to thank all who

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.

This is the first time all my works will be hung together in one giant room for display. I am so looking forward to this as I, myself are longing to see them all hang there.

So in our different world we are experiencing right now, I had a brain wave of seeing how one of my more well known and popular pieces would look like in a jigsaw. Then when I found a company located not too far away that could do this, well I thought that was just perfect. Supporting local (Australia) yay....Anyway thinking this maybe a thing.

On Reflection - Cape Town Harbour Fenders from the Port of Cape Town. Every year I do my best to get at least one of my textile art works on exhibit at International Quilt Festival in Houston, Texas USA.
