Gone for a Couple of Weeks to Australia

Fabulous trip!  The opening of the Oz Quilt show in Canberra was worth the trip in itself.  I saw A LOT of amazing textiles including drop dead gorgeous tapestries by Valerie Kirk (thank you, Valerie, for jurying my piece into the exhibit!), but my  fav is below:  "Perhaps Renewal" by Marianne Penberthy.  The essence of Australia's landscape. Haunting.
