Paducah

I have just found out that my quilt Ocean Dreams has been accepted to Paducah. I am thrilled to be part of this prestigious show whose semi finalist list reads like the Who's Who of quilting.

Have you seen our Ribbon?

Amazing isn't it? We are still over the moon and thanks to everyone who has written to me. Unfortunately if you leave an anonymous comment I can't reply directly but I am so grateful for all your kind words.

Meanwhile back at the studio - it is only just a week since they started and this is how it is coming along. I am thrilled.
This was at 7pm yesterday and they were still at it.




The hallway is looking a bit worse for wear though.

AMAZING NEWS

Nic Bridges and I have just found out that our quilt BUSHFIRE SUNSET has been awarded 3rd Prize in its category at Paducah.

To say we are thrilled is an absolute understatement!

Fellow Australian Mariya Waters has won Best of Show for her incredible Rennaisance Revival.

Paducah Acceptance

Thrilled to get a letter letting me know that Bushfire Sunset has been accepted to the AQS Show in Paducah. Now I just have to redo the hanging sleeve.
This is a collaborative quilt with Nic Bridges and we are very proud of it.

Thanks for all your nice comments. The quilt is 80" x 80" and this is only a detail shot. The tree is overlaid hand dyed silk organza and the pieceing is all sorts of fabrics including velvet, organza, hand dyed and painted fabrics, linen, cotton and silk.

Paducah Acceptance

I was very excited to hear today that my quilt Squared Up has been accepted into Paducah. It was quilted brilliantly by Nic Bridges and is still my favourite quilt at the moment so I am very pleased that it will get to travel across the sea to Paducah.
Having checked out the list of other semi-finalists I am thrilled to be in such brilliant company including many friends.

I have to thank Jamie Fingal who helped me beat the tyranny of distance and time for the entry form. The internet is a wonderful thing but these friendships created by it are priceless.
