I have just received another 49 jugs! I had a wonderful surprise last night when my friends in our Quilter's Dozen group gave me a lovely lap quilt they've made in thanks for hosting the group for meetings and inspiring (probably should read bullying) them. They felt that 'the pattern had my name on it' and sneakily they even used some of my fabrics in it. Thanks so much, girls.
I've been asked a few times, where the jug quilt is, and my answer has been 'on the drawing board'. I don't think I need bother now.
Here is the quilt
and here it is with some of the 600
Nothing of my work to show at the moment. I have a couple of projects on the drawing board, literally, and that I find is the hardest part. I much prefer the stitching.
Went into the city last week and caught a brillian exhibition of work by three generations of Aboriginal wood artists at the SA Museum entitled Punuku Tjukurpa. I think it is touring elsewhere now, but it is well worth a look if it comes near you. Walking along North Terrace I was amused to see this -
Yes, it was a fine autumn day with the sun shining...
We have been having wintry weather of late and the garden looks a bit forlorn, but a few spots of colour caught my eye the other day -
Mini pomegranites in abundance
1 of just 2 mandarines on the tree - the first fruits, which have taken a very long time ripening. It is quite strange the way it is growing, sort of side on and not hanging down like normal
Dill seed head against a blue sky
Bright red silver beet stalks
and a delicate, apricot Just Joey rose
Not quite so colourful, but interesting - some fungi among the violets (though I seem to have cropped the violets out)

Punuku
Tjukurpa offers the first opportunity for audiences to view work from
the magnificent Maruku Arts archive, representing three generations of
artists for whom the tradition of wood carving has been passed down -
