Quick fix of the face and then off on stage to deliver my speech on " MY JOURNEY". I had 23 quilts with me starting from the very first quilt 20 years ago. Full of pleats puckers imperfections but as I said to the audience this is the start of an amazing journey.
I took them through my background of Dads factory, tafe and work life at Boowalla, then on to 3 quilts borrowed by Katrina Hadjimichael to represent the 500 that I have quilted over 5 or so years.
Showed the 18 teaching and show quilts right up to the very latest .
I had a great responce ... Thank you all so much I was quite aprehensive and scared thinking about it all before, but on the day I relaxed and actually enjoyed myself.
Fan Willians now EX president and partner John were wonderful hosts to a glass or 3 of wine and lovely dinner.
Next day off to the local masonic lodge and in the main meeting room had a free motion class. Very starnge teaching surrounded by all kinds of symbollic furniture , tiles , lights and the G hanging from the ceiling!!! That was a first. All students did really well and Ive made more new friends.
