DIARY

A quiet place to share work away from social media.

Calm and Chaos – Finished

transparent small modern art quilt in beige and bright pinks

Finished and entered into GNZQS

This piece, which I’ve called

“Calm and Chaos”, is FINISHED! Yay!!!

I love the feeling of completing something. 

It’s 52 x 45 cm of wild piecing and I am waiting to see if it’s accepted into the Great New Zealand Quilt Show. It’s a deliberately bleached photo, which is the only finished pic I’m posting anywhere, until after May.

There will be lots of tasty quilts there so go and see the amazing creations we make here in Aotearoa. 

This piece might be for sale at the show, provided they let it in the door. 

My next plan is to add something on this site to have work categorised by pieces, rather that dated blog posts. Then you’ll be able to see workflows and progression of individual quilts or artworks.

UPDATE 2025 – This quilting design is now for sale! It’s called Teeny Tiny Thing and you can learn about it here.
