Done at last!

Over the past two months we have been building a garage/workshop/studio and updating the pool area and I have also been preparing for the opening of a pop up shop in Hornsby called The Artists Loft. A group of 15 members of ATASDA have been working hard to put this shop together and last night was or opening. It was a great evening with lots of visitors and a good number of sales.


My little quilt has been a fun adventure in something new for me both in matters of design and machine quilting. I am of two minds whether I want it sold or not. The next month I will be working at the shop once or twice a week an hopefully making more things for sale.

If the shop is a success we hope to do it again in April.

I hope also to spend some time relaxing by the pool in our lovely new area.

Bye for now.

Machine Embroidery



This is a photo of my leaf picture that I made in Meredith Woolnough's workshop. I was very pleased to be able to finish this piece and frame it at the workshop, thanks to Meredith's great teaching and encouragement.

My next workshop is screen printing with Lin Wilson tomorrow. I am really looking forward to this workshop and have possibly too high expectations of what I might achieve. Time will tell!
