These were amazing and the shadows cast added another dimension to the pieces.

The Condensery Exhibition

Insects - beading & really interesting - probably not to everyone's taste.

The bamboo is wrapped in textiles.

Really strange but might appeal to some.

Brisbane Valley

This is the Condensery Art Gallery at Toogoolawah is our destination on this trip.  It used to be a condensed milk factory.

On the way, we stopped at Woodford - a great little town.

Coffee & cake at the Brazen Hussey - shared the day with Margaret, Kate & Merody.

 

In the Studio

Needing backing fabric  - found this 30 year old piece!  I pieced the back for a quilt - it's one way to use the stash.  

Made a new cushion cover for Mum.  I used orphan blocks made from fruit & veggie fabrics - think it must have been a great quilt that I was going to make.  It's bright and cheerful

 

Another Play Mat

Play mat finished - not sure who it's going to yet - have a few babies due around us, neighbours, family and friends.  Decisions, decisions!

This birthday was held at a swimming pool.  The cake tasted pretty good.

Little brother Shiloh. in his Spiderman towel.

Father & daughter enjoyed the day.  It's an old statement but true - they do grow up so quickly.

 

Colour Challenge 2019

I had 12 A4 pieces from our Colour Challenge - what to do with them?  I decided to make a book.  This is the result - everything was hand stitched.

Inside front cover with January's piece - colour, orange & "Desert Storm"  was born.

The spine and belt of the book.

This is the December page - black and "Burnt Leaves"  - a commercial fabric in black leaves & I hand stitched to bring out the black.  Some of the leaves were outlined in a rust brown.  So pleased I was able to finish the Challenge & have something that is really nice to display.
