Meet The Artist

Still sight seeing with Mum while she's up for a holiday. 

She lives 3000 km away, so while we had the chance, why not do some sight seeing, and in this case, there was a chance for me to have some photos taken. 

So... meet the artist!

Hello, if you're new to this blog, I have been blogging since 2008. 

This blog is a record of my creative journey. You will see the prolifity vary depending on life occurrences, stepping stones etc.

I've been making quilts since 1997 when Mum paid for my first hand piecing class as a Christmas/Birthday present, which I loooved. And never looked back. 

I owned a patchwork shop in Gisborne, Victoria. Sadly it closed when my (now ex) husband suddenly left, and it really was a two person operation owning and operating a business. For a while (2010, 2011, 2012) I didn't sew as much, I had lost my mojo.



Then I was living in a caravan, and didn't have access to my huge stash, nor did I have a lot of space to stitch. You will see mostly handwork for a while, and not many finished pieces. I worked on embroidered tablecloths, cross stitch, crochet and appliqued quilt blocks.


Then I started my own family, and hit full stride again. 

We never know what's going to come up next for us, but I can tell you, that I will always be a crazy quilter, one way or another!

Hello, and welcome to my 15th year blogging.
