Blue Waves and Waves of Anger

First of all I was really taken aback to discover on my sitecounter that there have now been more than 25.000 visitors to this blog. I would not have believed it if I had been told this would happen when I first started. It's so amazing specially as blogging has also provided me with a great outlet for my art, my life and my occasionally wandering mind!

Thanks to everyone for visiting, you're simply the best!!!


I've done an article for the online magazine Quiltwow, edited by Maggie Grey. You have to be a subscriber to read the article but this is another great publication by Maggie, and everything else in it is well worth the read so I would urge you to subscribe if you are interested in quilting. I particularly enjoyed reading the interview in this latest September issue, with Alicia Merrett, a fellow "British" quilter. We were both born elsewhere but have landed and stayed here in the U.K.


In my article I describe how I've used Electric Quilt to design my stolen quilt Blue Waves as well as the replacement quilt I made entitled: Waves of Anger. It gave me quite a sense of deja vu, describing once again how Blue Waves disappeared from a town hall near Turin. It really seemed such a planned theft and you don't expect such a thing at all. Well I didn't at the time!! I'm pretty well ready for any unexpected surprises and/or shocks by now!!!

Looking at both quilts I will readily acknowledge that Waves of Anger is technically a better made quilt (just goes to prove that you do get more expert at things by practising!!) but Blue Waves has more soul and will to me at least remain the better one, and the one I prefer.

No idea if life and the universe will bring it back to me one day but I've not given up hope completely!!
