after looking at mt friend Kerry Gillespie of "My Favorite Things" blog I dicided to try one myself..... so here we go...
I have been Passionate about Quilting for many years now after learning basic patchwork and quilting in Singapore in 1984. I had done patchwork before that making my DD (dear daughter) a quilt for her pram in 1975 but I didn't know what i was doing in thoes days, being an interior decorator i played with lovely fabrics for many years.
When I returned to Melbourne in 1997 I opened a Patchwork shop "Manily Patchwork" in Moonee Ponds. in 1998 we moved back to Singapore in i took over the teaching of patchwork from the lass who taught me and sarted WWQ World Wide Quilters. doing work shops, challenges and quilt exhibitions. In 1991 we returned to Australia and moved to North East Victoria. When settled in Benalla I started teaching patchwork again and held a "Quilts i the Garden" exhibition and started The Daily Quilters we met every Wednesday morning with lost of fun and laughter along with some stitching.
On April 13th i had a terriable horse riding accident which was to change my life for ever ..but that is for another blog.
