UltraViolet Observations: next home
http://ultravioletlining.blogspot.com/2010/05/next-home.html
Thursday, May 27, 2010. I am on the move again, this time to Queensland! After spending most of last winter in Perth (after spending the one before in Broome) I decided I would not sit through another miserable, boring winter here. So off to the Tropics I go! My home for the next 3 months will be Willis Island, Coral Sea. Don't bother sending mail, because I won't get it! 300km east of Cairns, there isn't much else out here! The island's population is 3 weather observers, 1 tech and thousands of birds!

UltraViolet Observations: January 2010
http://ultravioletlining.blogspot.com/2010_01_01_archive.html
Tuesday, January 5, 2010. The yachts from the Clipper around the world yacht race arrived in Geraldton in mid December. They had sailed. From South Africa and they are now on their way to Singapore in the fifth leg of the 56,000km race which began in Hull, UK in September. The presence of 200 crew members and their families was a real boost to the local economy over Christmas while surrounding towns recorded a dip in visitors. More info can be found here. On the official website. And in our local paper.

http://ultravioletlining.blogspot.com/2009/10/northampton-airing-of-quilts.html
Wednesday, October 28, 2009. Northampton Airing of the Quilts. This year I was lucky enough to be working in Geraldton AND have the weekend off to attend the Northampton Airing of the Quilts 60km north of Geraldton. I was even luckier to get two quilts put in it (the top 2 pics)! I was in heaven! Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). UVObs#2 - my strangeness blog. Northampton Airing of the Quilts. Kojonup - not so wild flowers. SW wildflowers 2 - orchids. View my complete profile.

I was even luckier to get two quilts put in it (the top 2 pics)! I was in heaven! Kojonup - not so wild flowers. I didn't have time to enjoy what it offered, although I did indulge in some lovely fruit scones they were selling! SW wildflowers 2 - orchids. I did try to I.D them all, but ca...

UltraViolet Observations: April 2009
http://ultravioletlining.blogspot.com/2009_04_01_archive.html
Tuesday, April 28, 2009. Note the boat in the background - almost missed it because I stopped to take this pic! Admittedly, I'm not a big fan of emus. I have a memory from childhood going into the bush to show my Nana from England some wildlife and having the car surrounded by inquisitive emus as we tried to get out. I haven't had anything to do with emus since then aside from seeing them at Healsville Sanctuary and keeping my distance! Sandy trying to save her drink bottle (and self) from nosy emu.

UltraViolet Observations: June 2009
http://ultravioletlining.blogspot.com/2009_06_01_archive.html
Saturday, June 20, 2009. I have realised I haven't put up my pics from my flight in the Kimberley last year. These are of the Buccaneer Peninsular which consists of hundreds of islands. This area also includes the Horizontal waterfalls. Horizontal waterfalls. The adventurous can fly out here, land on the water and then take a boat down the falls (as long as they are falling - they are caused by the huge tides, so depend on the times of these). Each seagull represents a person lost. Last days in Gero.

UltraViolet Observations: Finished projects
http://ultravioletlining.blogspot.com/2010/05/finished-projects.html
Thursday, May 27, 2010. This was a 'quick' project that was in Quilter's Companion - a magazine which comes with a DVD (very helpful when you are like me and HATE reading instructions). The design is by Lisa Walton. Who's amazing hand dyed fabrics I bought at the recent Craft show in Perth. (They don't feature in this quilt though - I'm not that quick! I was almost creating a new record for myself and was headed to finish this quilt in a week, until I sewed myself to it! It's inspired my best friend to s...

UltraViolet Observations: Quiltwest
http://ultravioletlining.blogspot.com/2010/05/quiltwest.html
Thursday, May 27, 2010. I recently entered my first quilt competition (I previously entered a quilt showing which you can see here. With my Japanese quilt 'Sakura'. It is 180cm square and took about 8 months to make. The most of the designs are traditional Japanese crests and sashiko (a type of embroidery/quilting), many of which feature in Susan Briscoe's book "Japanese Quilt blocks to mix and match". She has kindly written a post on her blog. Kona Bay Fabrics Blog. You make our fabrics come to life!
