what I'm doing now!

I bought a Gell plate and have been having fun doing some mono printing.  This is my first layered print - quite happy with it & I'm looking forward to playing more.

Also finished this scrap quilt - it's a pattern by Bec Brennan called "It's a Lot" Quilt - really enjoyed making - only complaint - my scraps haven't decreased much at all.

Also finished this scrap quilt.  Getting back into sewing again after the flood in February, my areas are getting tidier & I feel like quilting again.  

 

2020 Qld Quilters Show - October

This is mine - my first ever FIRST!  I was over the moon.  A small piece call "We Will Remember"

Detail - gold thread used to "write" name - the tope of the quilt had the names of conflicts that Australia has been a part of.

We published a calendar with some of the winning quilts included - I got February.

Our theme  for this year was Home/House & here are a few of the quilts entered.

This was part of a triptych - the year in Queensland.

Liked this one.

Wellington Symposium

Early October  - visited Wellington for the Quilt Symposium - with 8 friends. I had a holiday - no workshops for me but did visit the Quilt Show, the Opening and the Merchant Mall.

When on holiday - I think you're allowed to have ice=cream for lunch!

Beautiful grounds and gardens
