Catching Up: Awards, a New Website and a YouTube Channel
It's been a while, and I have news: a new website and a brand new YouTube channel!
A lot has happened since my last update. At the Victorian Quilters Showcase 2025, Eve of Destruction won Best of Show, which was a wonderful surprise, along with First Prize in Innovative. At the same show, my flamingos in Run to Paradise took out First Prize in Pictorial and a Judge’s Choice award. This year Eve of Destruction also won Best Abstract at the Australian Quilt Show.
Then there were some big awards in Birmingham, not only in 2025 but in 2026 as well. At the Festival of Quilts in 2025, She Matters won the Master in Machinery Award and First Prize in Pictorial. In 2026, Born To Be Wild won the Mettler Artistry Award and Second Prize in Pictorial, and I was able to be there in person for that.
I'm also part of a new exhibition called Soul Stories, which is travelling the world. It's an ongoing exhibition, and I'm working on my second piece for it as I write this. My first piece is Changes (Diamond Dog II). It combines my polygon technique with collage, thread sketching and a realistic look. I'm very happy with the results.
At the moment I'm also playing with gelli plate printing, which is a lot of fun. Stay tuned for YouTube videos on that, and maybe some prints for sale.
Thank you to everyone who keeps following along and cheering me on.
