My quilting life aims are to try to be just that little bit different, to rock the boat a little, to do the unexpected. You may think that I am straight laced and serious, but underneath I am a bit crazy and enjoy to be different.
My quilts, while traditional sometimes always have some unexpected little aspect.
My life is not ordered, I work shift work, I sleep at odd times of the day, I am well known to go to sleep at dinner parties at someone elses house, even at my own house when I am the host!
My family knows that this is me and they just get on and accept it that I am just that little bit mad......
This is a close up of my quilt juried into the Queensland Quilters State of the Art quilt exhibition last year. It is an image of a hand, my sons actually. My father passed away in 2009, he always greeted people with his hand outstretched, it is a quilt made in his memory. Heavily free motion machine quilted. My daughter had done some drawings of heavily patterned hands, almost like henna tattoo designs, so I used this idea to decorate the hand.
