Summer dinners here at Casa da Praia are often served on the front verandah. It’s a time of the day when the birds are active and eating too. Here are some lorikeets hanging around.
Lorikeets were the inspiration for my challenge palette for the Twelve by Twelve International Art Quilt Challenge.
You can view all 144 Colourplay art quilts at the Craft & Quilt Fair that opens in Palmerston North, New Zealand this Thursday, 14 February and continues until Sunday, 17 February.
