Hello from Sunny Brisbane

Just a quick hello to you all...we had a wonderful two day drive to Brisbane, it's been lovely to see family and friends some of whom we have not seen for nearly three years. After leaving cold Melbourne behind, we have welcomed the warmth of Brisbane's winter days. We are sure the sun shines brighter here, and the clouds have been treating us to stunning displays....check out these clouds over the Brisbane Eye in Southbank.

We had a wonderful time with my sister, her husband and four gorgeous boys over the weekend. My sister is a graphic artist and her house is filled with wonderful art and crafts that she has designed and created. She doesn't mind me sharing some of them here. As you know I had fun making my mosaic quilt. My sister has designed and made a real mosaic for her toilet floor....it is incredible.

Her fish are amazing, swimming in their stream over the tiled floor!

She has also made some incredible stained glass windows. This one is based on designs by the Scottish artist and jewellery maker Rennie Mackintosh. It looks stunning with the sun shining through it over her stairs.

Of course she can make quilts too, this crosses quilt will cover her daybed when finished. Very talented girl!

Being away from home, hasn't quite meant that I haven't bought new patterns....I have been eagerly awaiting Kim McLeans new quilt Roseville Album....have you seen it yet, Oh My! I have bought it from Glorious Colour and it should be waiting for me by the time we arrive home in a week on Friday, yay!

Thinking of you all, Cathy xo
