Last week I entered a couple of my quilts into the local show and was pleasantly surprised. The art quilt won 2nd place and then the small quilt came third.
The art quilt was a reminder of the boab trees in the Kimberleys when we travelled through the region on a recent trip. The small quilt is a Sue Daly Design. Titled “Field of Flowers”.
Finally I got my piece finished for the Toowoomba Quilters Exhibition Botanica display. This is a memory of our trip last year through the Kimberleys in WA.
This is the product of a workshop which I attended with Lisa Walton, we started with a plain white piece of fabric and then did sun printing, painting and rubbings with shiva stiks then we collaged the pieces of fabric. I have named this Colours of Australia. It reminds me of the diversity of the Australian landscape.
Recently I retired from work ( after 25 years)and was presented with this lovely bunch of flowers, a gift card to go shopping with and a signed card from fellow workmates. I am busier then ever but I am enjoying some sewing time now, and the garden has also received some much needed attention too.
