Catch up news from Bronnie [not all that exciting...]

G'day folks, Haven't posted any for the last few months, however I do pop in here to rea d every now and then, Haven't finished any quilt projects since the Crysta l Dena Craine quilt mid-year. I have a project half pieced on the design wall -a different take on drunka rd's path using graduated colour fabrics. Gotta get on with that! Travel wise, I have just returned from two weeks in Japan with DH to coinci de with the Yokohama Quilt Show in early Nov. We traveled around from Osak a to Kyushu Island in the south for 10 days prior which we thoroughly enjoy ed. Lots of Japan Rail Pass trips and we were blessed with mild sunny weat her for the most part. The Quilt Show was interesting - the Japanese do such beautiful hand piecin g and quilting, a marvel to look at. They have moved away from the more tr aditional indigo/kimono silk type quilts. There were alot of landscape type quilts which I love. I bought back some a big bundle of offcuts of mainly navy/stripe/pattern Ja panese cottons which could make up into a nice crazy patchwork, log cabin t ype work. All's well in other aspects of life and family; a blessing indeed.

Happy quilting to you all, Hugs Bronnie Gold Coast, Australia

Sounds great Bronnie! Good for you. I agree about Japanese work - how wonderful to see it in the flesh.

I very much enjoyed my couple of experiments with graduated colour fabrics; so I'll be most interested to see your Drunkard's Path variant when it is ready. . In message , Bronnie writes
