I've just returned from a short sojourn north to
Noosa,
 |
| The Noosa River on Wednesday morning! |
where I was lucky enough to be present at
Tula Pink's talk and trunk show in Brisbane!
 |
| Note the owl pendant which echoes her designs |
What a delight it was to hear her talk about her
career,
her design process (paint chips included) and even
the story behind the Elizabeth range;
for example the pelican is a symbol of motherly love.
All her quilts are quilted, by Angela Walters,
with double polyester batting....
"Why a double layer of batting?"
I hear you ask.....
Photography takes away a certain percentage of the
texture created by quilting!
 |
| This is from her 'soon-to-be released' range- Slow & Steady |
The double batting puts it back!
Part way through Tula's presentation,
I remembered I owned this sweet piece of Hushabye
fabric...
which is now rare and out of print.
I think I may frame it!
I may have made a few purchases, to 'enhance' my
stash!
While visiting my friend Marg, we may have indulged
in some sunshine, a margarita...
and a delightful lunch at Maison de Provence in the
Noosa Hinterland!
And in other exciting news, I won a class from
"Amitie" with Michelle Mckillop,
using this fabric for my colour palette.
I'm looking forward to starting something new....
and look forward to sharing it with you!
Happy days,
SUZ
