Thankyou to all who commented and consoled on the departure of Molly. We did have some news in the two days after they left but as they are now trekking (supposedly) through the wilds of Africa haven't heard much more for several days now. But I guess that is good news – no broken legs, no leopard attacks, no baboon invasions – all must be good. At least they will be warmer than we are here with a minus 3 start to the day today. Bring on Spring!
Last post I promised some peeks of what I have been up to… colouring, colouring, colouring… too many things at once.
This quilt was stitched out by my sister on her IQ, some colouring added by me and now its gone home again for some more wonderful background quilting. We have done it to show my students at the Australian Machine Quilting Festival in October some more ideas for adding colour to their wonderful quilting. There is still a couple of spots in my Mini Lace class, and some in the Victorian Virtuoso design class and Fun with Inktense class. These classes are not just for longarmers – I am a domestic quilter and can show you many ways to add colouring to your projects – it really is a lot of fun and very relaxing!
I’ll show you some new Inktense pics next post – still working on that one every night!
Of course Tilly couldn't miss out, she made this for her teacher whilst I was colouring the big one.
School holidays start tomorrow here and a trip to Melbourne next week to meet many of you at the Australian Quilters Symposium.
back to colouring now, hugs to all
Helen
Thick as a brick here...but could not work out location of convention.
I think I purchased in Inktense pencils in a fit of Derwent folly and knowing how to use them could be fun.
Curious...were you a singer or what instrument did you play. Just read the bio. Love service bands. Was in a madrigal group led by SQ Leader Ron Mitchell ex leader of RAAF band..now sadly deceased.

I love the roses Helen - you can almost smell their delicate perfume.... Your daughter looks like she is following in her mum's foot steps... :)
