If you are about in Melbourne, there is a lovely exhibition of contemporary quilts at the Whitehorse Artspace, Boxhill. This is an annual event that alternates exhibitions with this and a regional venue.

It is open until 20th of December. Opening hours are Tuesdays to Fridays 10am to 4pm and Saturdays 12pm to 4pm.

This is my (first) entry ‘Billy Buttons 1’. It is a whole cloth quilt, dye painted and printed, then handstitched (to death)! It received a judges award. The judges (there were two) each had to choose a piece that they would most like to have in their home. I’m thrilled that Gloria Loughman chose mine. I met her earlier in the year and she is a wonderful and talented lady.

Thankyou to Lorinda and Ray who made the flying visit down to Melbourne with us.
