the latest goss!

Yes, I've been very quiet on the social media front of late! Have you missed me?

The last little while has been pretty full on with exhibitions and things....I think I've been a little overwhelmed with it all and exciting stuff is happening!

It's like, where do I start...

Whilst exhibiting at Noosa Regional Gallery an opportunity presented itself for me to re-exhibit Expressions of Love II in September (14th to 28th) at Gallery 159, The Gap, Brisbane (Gallery 159 is an initiative of TAFTA - The Australian Forum for Textile Arts, Ltd).  In discussion with Janet De Boer O.A.M dates were confirmed and it's been a flurry of activity with all the preparations and planning...  also, I have taken on a mentoring roll by sharing the space with emerging artist, Anne Harris.  Anne came to my 'meet the artist' morning tea and was interested in knowing more about the exhibition process - it was around the same time I was in negotiations with Janet for Gallery 159 and thought it would be a great opportunity for Anne and to share the space together. (more details soon - I promise!). 

Here's a sneak peek... Expressions of Love II - Lovingly Interrupted


On going correspondence with freelance Writer and Quilter, Linda Seward see's my tea bag Quilt once again selected to feature in an overseas publication, Linda's new book entitled, The Ultimate Guide to Art Quilting. Today's email notifies featuring artists' complimentary copies are in the mail - yippee!


Then today, the latest copy of Textiles Fibre Forum arrives via snail mail, and features a two page article for Expressions of Love II inside.

That's just a snippet of the latest news, 'tis all very exciting indeed....

    2. Hi Kim, well done with all your busy-ness! Just wondering whether you still want tea bags? Being a Professional Herbalist, I take 5 or 6 pots of herbal teas to church each Sunday, as well as other occasions, and often do a Green tea chai,for which I am using tea bags, since I was given a few packets. I open the bag and tip the tea into the pot,so I have about 50 new ( unused) tea bags for you, if you want them, and will keep saving them. Cheers, Carolyn Ritchie

    3. Hi Carolyn, I do have a few collectors saving tea bags for me. Due to the development with my work the shapes, types, and varieties are getting more selective - at the moment I am calling for the square pot bags (no string or label). I would love your unused tea bags, thanks for thinking of me and asking, much appreciated. Warm regards, Kim

  3. Yes where have you been. The tea bags seemed to have spirited you away. Go well. B
