The Colour Purple

Here I am today creating with the colour purple ...again!
Some say purple is the colour of Kings, others say it is the
colour of confusion but for me it feels like the colour of
balance.
It is the colour that happens when the energy cools and
things become clear.
For me it is the colour of CALMNESS.

Garden View

An afternoon view from my studio window in the late afternoon of Autumn looking up the paddock.

The quilt is progressing well!
I spent last evening using the
slow cloth method to quilt the
large middle section of the quilt
and I am now using free-machine
quilting to quilt the outer part.
I am hoping the end result will
be complementary.
I have yet to name it!

A UFO

I made this quilt top about 18months ago
and I thought it was time I should get it
out and start the job of backing, pinning
and quilting. The colours are inspiring me
onward! Next time you see it hopefully it
will be finished!

Pot of Gold Art Quilt

This is another view of the Pot of Gold Art Quilt
The whole quilt measures 17.5" x 20".

Pot of Gold at the End of the Rainbow

Today I managed to finish the quilting on this small piece of fibre artwork.
It is a composition based on crazy quilting and incorporating dyed silk, multicoloured wooltops, gold braid as well as antique Indian braid and defined with a gold thread.
The wool was felted onto the silk by a felting machine and then overquilted with an ornamental stitch by machine.
It is yet to be completed with tabs for hanging.
