Gallery Update.
Summer in the City. (2011)
This quilt was made as an
entry in the Quadrille Quilters Guild Challenge in the latter part of 2011. The
theme was "Seasons", and this quilt won Second place. In September
2013 it was accepted to be part of the South African Exhibition at the European
Patchwork Meeting in France.
Moonlight and Roses, and the Young Girls Dream. (2012)
This quilt was my entry into
the "Dreams" challenge issued at the first International Quilt
Convention - Africa in 2012. It went with
other South African quilts to the European Patchwork Meeting 2012, in St Marie
aux Mines, France as well as
to venues in Australia and New Zealand.
Free to Express. (2013)
The theme for the second
International Quilt Convention -Africa was
"Free to Express". As in the previous year this convention was held
at Emperor's Palace, in Johannesburg. This was my
entry. The exhibition was featured at other venues in South Africa, and my quilt was sold in the Cape.
Flagstone Memories - Better than Diamonds. (2014)
During July 2013 I had the
wonderful experience of visiting Italy with three of my quilting
friends. We arrived in Siena
during a rainstorm, and took refuge in a coffee shop while we waited for the
rain to abate. I took photos of our luggage and umbrellas which I later used to
create this little quilt. I entered it into our 2014 Quadrille Quilters
challenge where it took second place.
No Keener Revelation. (2014)
A group of quilt artists from
South Africa and the USA were invited by the Michigan State
University museum to
submit quilt works for an exhibition honouring the life of Nelson Mandela. The
exhibition was called Conscience of the
Human Spirit: The Life of Nelson Mandela ,and a book of the same name,
featuring all the quilts, was published. The exhibition was supposed to travel
around South Africa and the United States
for several years, but due to certain difficulties with customs, that did not
happen. It was exhibited at IQC - Africa in July 2014, and the National Quilt
Festival, Durban
in July 2015.
