Today

Saw one of my old quilts being used at my Mum's Aged Care Facility by one of the residents.  Think I made this in the early 2000's as an entry in the annual fabric Challenge for Qld Quilters Inc.  Val is enjoying it at the moment.

Flowers from the ginger in our back yard.

Our orchid that just hangs around in flower.  A really great splash of purple.

A quilt finished.  Hand stitching, hand quilting & I'm happy with it.

I called it "Thunder Eggs"

 

Qld Quilters March Meeting

Above are some of the members' quilts from Show'n'Tell - a talented bunch.

We had speakers from Qld Women's Historical Assn and they brought along a couple of antique quilts.  This crazy quilt was beautiful and created a lot of interest.

The theme for this year's exhibition was "Flora" and there were size restrictions.  The top one was called "My Flora" - imagined bacteria in my gut - wasn't accepted!  Don't think that it would have looked good in the exhibition with most artists probably using flowers or pretty things as their inspiration.

The bottom one, "Poppy Fields" was accepted and I'm really pleased with it.  Collaged background and poppies vliesoflexed & stitched.

No quite sure what to do with "My Flora". It's 15" x 15". 

 

Boro - in essence

My T-shirt was too loved to throw away when it developed little holes - boro to the rescue - nobody notices the repairs until I point them out.  I only point them out to friends who understand the need to repair/enhance loved clothing.
