Although I have managed a fair bit of ‘making’ since Marcus was born (all things considered) I haven’t managed to finish much, so I figured it’s time to share one of the quilts I finished earlier in the year. See glimpses here and here. If you visited me at the gallery during my exhibition, you may have seen this quilt in progress.

This quilt is one of my most recently completed artworks. Whereas my first childhood quilts focused on a child’s journey of discovery, at the moment I’m looking more at capturing fleeting moments that spell ‘childhood’ to me – like a little boy watching the ground move beneath him as he circles around and around on his squeaky tricycle. Rather pertinent to where I’m at right now – savouring whatever I can of the early days and years of my little children. Having a new baby in the house reminds me all over again just how quickly they learn and grow and grow up!
