Floods
Looking at the swollen river from our paddocks. The line of trees in the front is the creek bank.This is when the waters are receding.

Dear bloggers.I am sorry I haven't posted for a while but I have been in the midst of the floods here in Victoria. The little town where I live had been inundated with flood waters. Barely any homes have escaped without major damage. There are about 200 homes and 800 people in Carisbrook. I live on a few acres outside of town and escaped the worst of it. Just some damage to fencing,pump etc. I am the lucky one. My home and studio are fine. here are some photos of the floods. I am back at work now and will try to post regularly again.

New garden and veradah
Hi I thought I would post some photos of my new grden path from the house to my studio and my new verandah and garden beds. The gardens were finished Early November. The first pic is looking down the verandah to the wood shed. The trees in the background are on the creek.
This photo is a shot of the side of the studio .In the background is the cows paddock and further back the trees line the creek which bends around 2 boundaries of our property. As you can see the rest of the yard is still a work in progress.

29 fat quarter quilt
Jenny and a group of fellow quilters decided to make this lovely quilt. Each one looks so different with the fabrics chosen. Jenny made this one for her grandson. I love the fossil fern fabrics she chose. The photo does not do the colours justice,and it is a really nice quilt for a young man. I quilted it with maple leaves all over design. Another great finish for you Jenny.

Oceanica quilt
Hi, I hope you had a great New Years Eve last night .I went out to a local Highland Society club with some friends for dinner and a show. They even had the piping in of the haggis.
Well now down to more quilty things.
We have pictured here a quilt made using the Oceanica range of fabrics. The fabric panel is quirky and I love it. this quilt is for a boy so I quilted fish all over it. Isn't it great?
