Moonlighting-Ring Light

Moonlighting: Upcoming Serendipity Workshops

25 March 2021 Filed Under: Gadgets & Notions, Teaching, Zoom Workshops

I have a new teaching companion in my studio. An extra light source for my work station when I am teaching during my night time. I have abundant natural light during the day but this is an extra boost for other times especially as we head into winter downunder. Speaking of workshops, join me for […]

Pop Up Exhibition at Pearl Beach

8 July 2015 Filed Under: Exhibition:Living Colour!, Gadgets & Notions

Yesterday, at the invitation of the Pearl Beach Craft Group, I presented a pop up display of Living Colour! at the Pearl Beach Memorial Hall which is about 30 minutes from my home.  The hall is a valuable  facility built in the 1950s complete with a robust hardwood floor; special lighting; a catering kitchen; a […]

18 April 2014 Filed Under: Cot Quilts, Gadgets & Notions

The year to date has been quite intense in terms of exhibition administration so it is refreshing to arrive at Easter without [too many] pressing commitments. In accordance with family tradition, I made hot cross buns and delivered them to our neighbours.  Here is our family hot cross bun recipe: I am also working on […]

Polywool Batting Offcuts

Batty over Batting

17 January 2014 Filed Under: Gadgets & Notions

I have used all kinds of batting and wadding.  However, my preferred choice is 40/60 polywool batting such as Matilda’s Own and Minijumbuk Nu Wool wadding. I use it in both bed quilts and textile art whether I am hand stitching or machine quilting. The qualities I appreciate include: it is pre-shrunk with little residual […]
