Whale Festival

Last Sunday at Scarborough Beach, Redcliffe Peninsula, a Whale Festival was held.  Whale migration season will soon be happening so we had face painting, 'real' mermaids and King Neptune himself.  It was so windy & cold, we didn't stay for the outdoor movie - you guessed it, "Finding Nemo!"

Canvases for sale

Queensland Quilters' Art group has generously supplied these canvases for sale at our State of the Art 2018 (SOTA18) exhibition in Boonah, south-west Queensland.  Available for $35.00 each at the Gallery if you're travelling that way between 6th June to 15th July.

2Q Challenge

My contribution to the Qld Quilters' annual Challenge.  Fabric is provided - I used it in the large turtles and it has to be cover at least 20% of the front of the quilt.  I used a drawing that my niece painted some years ago & used shashiko & perle thread for the quilting.  I found out that I was the runner up in the viewers' choice over the 3 days of our Quilt Connect Show - no prize but tickled that people liked it.

Quilt Connect

Some of the 24 items up for auction in our Silent Auction.  All donated by our Qld Quilters' members. Spent the day talking with members from all over south-east Queensland, more of the same tomorrow & Saturday.  Lots of smiling faces.
