The State of My Art

Sue Dennis headed up the art quilting group in QQ for 3 years.  She's a busy world renowned art quilter and teacher, so her commitment was not taken on lightly.  She was always a pleasure to work with.  Those of us who were part of the committee made a little "thank you" piece of art with a touch of orange, that she could display as she wished.  The size of the canvas was 4" X 4".

Some idea drawings -

The base fabric - created in a session with a friend

Words had to be incorporated

and metal of course

I had to make sure the design remained in the small space

Labelled and everything!

Artist's Statement - or  - A Bit More About the Piece
Life is the source of energy and creativity that radiates through space and time.
Elements represent time spent with friends, free play, and words - all important to me.

This pattern in a shop window caught my eye

Holland Park Art

Following the QQ meeting, I had lunch out at Holland Park - oops - how did THAT find its way onto my table -

Wandering along the footpath I spotted these -

Queensland Quilters

The first QQ meeting was on 8 February, in a new location in Tarragindi.  Super easy to find, good parking, loads of space.  And loads of people, as you can see -

It was wonderful catching up with lots of friends, and finding out about all the latest happenings.

All For One!

Following the Star Sea quilting group a couple of weeks ago, three of us had lunch at The Shingle Inn in Cleveland.  We were all taken with this yummy drink - here's to our health!

PRP?

Dare I call it a Property Redistribution Program?  Book giveaway doesn't sound half as interesting does it?  Although I hope the people who are getting some of my books will think they are interesting!
Here is a pile I gave to a new friend who enjoys reading -

No doubt there will be further distributions among HER friends, and the pleasure of books will be spread to a widening circle...

I won!

I entered a draw at quilts und mehr - and I WON!!
The cute little yellow "Taschli" was the one that arrived in my mailbox.  Edith used a quilting calendar (I think) as an envelope.

The little purse itself was protected with more quilts! in the form of postcards

 

 And here is the little cutie!

 Thank you Edith!
