Australasian Quilt Convention

I don’t really enter my quilts into shows anymore.

I find the paperwork and photography arduous but mostly it’s because i just don't think that is the best way to show them too advantage.

 

But I am so thrilled for the opportunity to have my quilts at a quilt show when they can be seen at their best.

For the next couple of days you can see a couple of my large quilts as well as some of my “women” at the ZiguZagu

 

Recent work

 Ah, blogger. The last time I posted after a long break it was all too easy. This morning it won’t let me type anything so now I am editing the post I just made! 

This quilt is a collation of lots of left over pieces from other projects. I was inspired by the quilt in

“Unexpected and Unconventional. American Quilts Below the Radar”

In the past I have made quite a few quilts using fabrics from old Japanese textiles, mostly kimonos and futon covers. I only used the “good” bits without holes or fading or other imperfection. 

My recent project has been to go back into that stash of discards to make the latest projects.

What i have been doing is assembling the piece, hand quilting all of it then going back and “mending” the holes. I guess I’m doing my version of “boro”

Hi there, remember me?

 It looks like I haven’t posted for such a long time. Let’s seeing if i can get this to work again?

So far so good

I have been making a lot of these lately.

I started them a few years ago when there seemed so many pressing issues that made me want to get out and protest. Well that hasn’t changed!
