25.01.2022 KI bushfire quilt donations are piling up and I’m happy to keep collecting. A big Thankyou for your generosity, particularly one quilter who provided 20 beautiful brand new quilts. I was delighted to receive calls from country groups wishing to donate. Mid September I will aim to deliver quilts so please share amongst your quilt groups and sewing friends if they would still like to contribute quilt donations to our friends on Kangaroo Island. Much appreciated. #quiltersguildsa #kibushfires

22.01.2022 Covid19 therapy indoors. Today I'm sorting through my 2020 photo files and this inspirational image came from the Op Shop. It was an album cover that I liked. Wish now that Id purchased said Australian record which I think was a William James special. Who influenced who when the album cover was designed? Certainly some quilt ideas to spare

21.01.2022 Young, Australian and talented; Meredith transforms thread. Stunning

20.01.2022 Treasure walk beneath the red cliffs of Ardrossan. Such treasure like never before. Not the nesting pigeon’s feather but....... some broken china, ONE of which has a faded red pattern on it. I have searched for years to find real treasure and this is it. Will surely appear soon in fabric art!

19.01.2022 Despite the closed quarters of COVID19 I have had some encouraging art news, especially as I’d not remembered entering earlier this year. Two quilts will travel. ''Australia wide 7'' exhibition for the quilt ‘Migrate red’ and the ‘Kintsukuori’ selected for Sandra Sider’s book and exhibition ''Quarantine Quilts; creativity in the midst of chaos''

18.01.2022 FINALLY on my fourth go I have been able to get the gofundme page to work. Now I feel that I can start. (either that or Im donating 4 times... which would be ok too) Here is the link if anyone else would like to be part of this fundraiser. You don't have to make a quilt. You dont have to sew, but can join in and be part of this online community. Backpacks for Kids is an SA volunteer group who provide a backpack with age appropriate personal needs and gifts to give to a child ...(and or teenager) when they are removed; often quite suddenly, from their home situation. Children can arrive in emergency foster care virtually with what they are wearing. The backpack provides the child with some basic comforts and reinforces to the child that someone else cares and is willing to help. My quilt I have decided will be created to go in a backpack... probably not a queensize number, but something with minky on the back to cuddle in. https://www.gofundme.com/f/rachelles-mysolation-mystery-qui

18.01.2022 Finishing UFO’s. The back of a quilt as you go quilt and as I hand stitch the long seam joins I remembered this tool I purchased in a Japanese quilt shop in Melbourne. The translation from its label is instrument so I don’t know it’s name. But it is wonderful and prevents me from pinning my hand stitching to my jeans. Does anyone use this tool?

17.01.2022 Well today was the the day I finally entered the Archibald prize and I am so happy to have had my soul sista by my side, Angie McInerney Goto who also entered into the Archibald and Sulman. Love you , and good luck to us both

16.01.2022 So easily distracted lately with photographing change. So many visual delights that the crop tool creates. Soon soon I will incorporate some of these delightful spaces into Modern improv piecing.... what are we all inspired by at the moment?

12.01.2022 New book arrives today and it greatly exceeds my expectations! Published in 2019 to rave reviews, It is The Thomas Murray Collection at the Minneapolis Institute of art. 500 pages; I ordered from Angas and Robertson NSW (matching the price of Book Depository UK).

12.01.2022 ‘Wahine Mana’ - Archibald entry 2020, time lapse from beginning to end. This portrait means a lot to me on so many levels. Thank you to Taaniko Nordstrom and ...Vienna Nordstrom, for inspiring this portrait, sharing your stories and culture, and above all, the beautiful connection we have made... I have such admiration for the work you do within your culture and community and I am on board. I can’t wait See more

10.01.2022 More mask making today using a different pattern from the first batch that I made for local hospital staff. First masks had a removable hepa filter pic 1 but the new style I have been able to create a stitched in lining of Hepa. Pattern is from ‘Sweet red poppy’ website. I’ve added nose wire to help anti fog reactions to wearing glasses.#wearamask #berninaaustralia

09.01.2022 My first Artist Profile in the Australian magazine TFF (or Textiles Fibre Forum) #238 June 2020 and I’m really chuffed. Still under $10 a copy and cheaper when you subscribe, it is one of the few remaining publications that connect and promote Aussie fibre artists. Undoubtedly one of the best professional reads about the world scene as well as local textiles artists; ideas & inspirations, practice and exhibition work. Another SA artist Cathy Boniciolli has her exhibition profiled in this current copy.

09.01.2022 MASK update Sweet Red Poppy website is the pattern that I’m using for masks. Filter is cut as a third layer same as pattern tho I trim it shorter so that the filter doesn’t go under the ear ties seam. Less bulk. The nose bridge is cut from good quality alfoil bbq trays. Ear loops are hair ties cut in 1/2 longways so it makes 2 otherwise too thick for my delicate ears!... Filter was purchased from bison. See photo Good luck See more

07.01.2022 Julie Haddrick is putting together a large care package for KI bushfire victims (some of whom will hopefully be quilters). Over the past months SA quilters have... asked where they can donate quilts - and here is your opportunity to do so. Many of you may also be happy to donate your recent mystery quilts. If you'd like to be involved, please can you email me and I'll put you in touch with Julie. [email protected] Many thanks, in anticipation of your support, Chris.

07.01.2022 Wow thankyou for so many beautiful and heartfelt responses to the knitting post about my Mum. It really hit home how fortunate i am. Now of course I've given her more colours to knit because Ill make the rug 6x6 squares big. Mum asks how am I going to sew them together? With grey wool and a needle I suppose. I am a quilter you know.... But there are different ways to assemble the squares Mum says so I thought Id ask the brains trust for ideas? Any advice most welcome...I am not a knitter....

06.01.2022 Earlier this year I sent a quilting parcel to a NSW bushfire affected community that had lost everything. I also collected with the help of Coro Quilters, some quilting gear for our own Kangaroo Island bushfire victims as well. Then Covid came about and stalled me. So in discussions with QGSA president Chris O'brien, we put out the call for quilt donations to go to some of the KI bushfire victims and their families. If anyone would like to donate quilts, perhaps private message me to arrange drop off. Thankyou in advance. Julie

06.01.2022 Im about to read thru @RachelleDenenny's Mystery quilt fundraiser quilt instructions for cutting fabric. I have never done a quilt from a pattern or attempted a mystery quilt so wish me luck. It will be a challenge, but its for a good cause. Rachelle has 5000 people making them. What a star she is.

03.01.2022 A little antique display cabinet purchased on marketplace has been filled with some of my toy sewing machine collection. Difficult to photograph due to mirror. I get pleasure to walk past these little beauties in my lounge room, rather than in storage

03.01.2022 Photographic indulgence; images taken at the North Adelaide gallery and home of David Roche. He was a world renown dog breeder, dog judge and art collector who bequeathed his home and now an art gallery on the grounds to share with the lucky residents of SA. A quilt exhibition took me to this venue .. post to follow. Our tour guide worked for Mr Roche for 40 years and have wonderful insight into th man and his collections. So fortunate. Anyone living here or visiting SA who l...oves collecting( ie not a minimalist) will be blown away by this extraordinary gallery that houses approx 4000 items. From his website.... David J Roche AM (19302013), a collector for almost sixty years, spent his lifetime developing what has become The David Roche Collection. The collection, which spans the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries and includes European furniture, ceramics, metal ware, clocks and paintings, is remarkable in its quality and range. It contains many luxury works by leading designers displaying exquisite workmanship, as well as the quirky and playful, and as such reflects the many interests and engaging personality of its creator.

01.01.2022 My dear Mum at 90 has lost so much with her rapid onset of Macular Degeneration in her ‘good eye’; she can no longer drive, do her botanical illustration, crochet, knit from patterns, or make baby clothes, refugee jumpers, newborn charity beanies and rugs etc. It is very frustrating to watch such rapid and recent decline yet she doesn’t focus on the losses. We’ve changed knitting needles to shiny metallic ones that help ‘see’ what she is doing and the 8 ply baby wool can be m...ore easily felt as she now can only knit squares. Clickety clack in the dark, feeling for mistakes and splits, dropped stitches in the shadows of her wool, Mum was getting grumpy at all the ‘grey wools’ I was buying! Nevertheless you can see the gorgeous array of squares that she has made....98 so far. I will assemble for her into baby rugs. I am so inspired by her ability to cope with adversities like secondary breast cancer and treatment at 90, Parkinsons, diabetes, macular degeneration and now minimal sight. I am reminded to see the colours in grey and to find positive outcomes in every action and thought. I am so lucky to have a strong, inspirational role model in Yvonne Haddrick. Keep on knitting your grey squares Mum. See more
