Afternoon with Benny

 An afternoon of painting & talking with No. 1 son via Skype.

30 Day Challenge

I'm in a group called 'Broadstrokes' & we've been given a challenge by one who shall remain nameless. Each day we're to do something & repeat the technique throughout the month. Selfies stitching (hand & machine) collage, painting. It'll be great to see them all at the end of the month.I'm doing a little book of 30 days recording simply what happens in my life.

SoTAq16 - State of the Art Quilt 2016.

 Gallery 159, The Gap was the launching pad for this year's exhibitions.

Quinn's Backyard

Made this for Quinn - his Grandma hand appliquéd the insects  & I did the rest. Made completely from my stash & there's still so much left. Really happy with this little quilt.

Finishes

 A Christmas runner - no, I'm not super organised. Kate is down-sizing & I took a couple of tops. One finished!

Half square triangles -  quilted with Perle cotton.

Painting Fun...

 Margaret & I spent last Friday playing with paint at 'Cork & Chroma.'

 Bubbly was also involved.

 Selected the colours & after 3 hours.....Voila!

A finished piece of art! My first. Might be my last.I know why I like fabric - colour without the mess on your fingers & hands.
