finished my tour of duty at the craft and quilt show

In this blog I don't comment on my work experiences. I sometimes talk about family, and most often I share with you my weekend life. ......And so it is again.

In Brisbane over the past 5 days, the craft and quilt show has dominated my time.
I've been on duty for 4 days. It's been good fun to chat with the general public and to spend time with friends.

I generally start the days with a bracing cup of coffee.


I did some painting on fabric .....


We had to explain our art quilt groups challenges. These are self portraits. Can you see mine?


I did have a piece entered in the show.... called 'Reframing your Dreams'.



Here are a couple of my favourites at the show. This one has thousands of tiny stitches.


... And this one is made from fabric. Yes it is!


Out in the selling zone was an exhibition of Steampunk paraphenalia.



Back at home the orchids are flourishing. They have had a house extension. Backyard renovation has been good for these.



Myles is talking about getting a hobby. He's quite sure it won't be quilting or gardening.
I'll keep you informed.

  2. What a talented pair you are - one a textile artist and the other can get beauiful flowers to grow! The orchids are gorgeous!
