Scrappy Stars and Friends Quilt

This quilt top is a WIP - Work In Progress -
Most of the blocks are Friendship Blocks, given to me by club member friends when I left the Central Highlands. 1992.
Some of the blocks are embroidered with the maker's name.
I'll add a pieced border with some matching scrap fabrics.

These things take a long time you know!

Retro Outfit 1971 Style, made 2008.

I made this outfit for a retro get-to-gether.

Long vest top with hook & eye front, patch pockets, fully lined. 

High-waisted belt with antique diamante buckle.  

Straight wide-legged pants.

Warm fabric - a brushed poly/cotton or similar.

The fabric is genuine 70s and was given to me by K.

Black with pink and purple flowers.

Brisbane at Night

I took this pic from our hotel room when we took R to Brisbane for the TOOL concert. 

Got a surprise to find the band and crew staying at the same hotel.

Santa Dress

I designed this dress which I had made in Penang.  As well as this black belt with the silver buckle I have extra belts to match - a plain red one and a black satin one with a gold buckle.

I hope I can fit into it this Christmas !   2008.

HINDI WEDDING OUTFIT

I love this outfit - I borrowed the sari length from S. and all it needed was straightening and hemming,
A beautiful 5 m length of metallic embroidered silk fabric from India.

I found the matching t-shirt under-top at an op shop, shortened it and took it in at the sides. 2006.

Hand Dyed Wool

I helped my son R dye this beautiful quality wool for his wife's birthday.  It turned out so beautiful.
Will try and get another pic added soon of the finished product. 2010.

Check out his knitting etc
