Along the Margin of Sea and Sand
Janine Ibbini. Revealed Quilts. Change of Season As in other parts of the Earth, there’s really only two seasons in the UAE, summer and winter. Its winter now and I can’t think of a better place to be. I love the cooler days when we can stay out doors for
AND HE STANDS ALONE, WAITING
I have followed the life and near death of this Oak, watching as HE ages – his old tree bark changes colour, the leaves come and go, and the arrival of the many woodpeckers and squirrels who arrive to be with the Oak, remind us to watch the old tree
Snow, Paint and Cloth
I don’t really like snow or should I say winter in general. Growing up in Niagara Falls Canada, we celebrate winter with the Festival of Lights. Queen Victoria Park is decorated with over one million lights. Lights in the trees, on the buildings and even the Falls themselves take on
Winter Cold
Winter Cold It’s a great honour to choose a theme. Above all, it is very exciting to see what everyone has done with the theme. Like I said, I didn’t want to make it too difficult. Hence my choice “change of season”. There is another reason for the choice. I worked
Last Hurrah
Karol KusmaulWe don’t get much distinct seasonal change here in Florida, especially the further south you are. It stays pretty green here year round. Some of us miss the seasons, and enjoy visiting places where it snows in winter and the leaves change in the fall. When we received the
Flowers that call for summer

Season of Darkness, Season of Sight
I dedicated my quilt to an artist friend who is blind.

Relationships
Continuing on with my series its interesting to see how the colour is changing from piece to piece. Each piece is also getting narrower at this point until 9 inches wide then I will begin enlarging them back to a full 24 inches wide. It will be interesting to see
Berribee Shearing Shed
Abandoned and disused shearing sheds and wool sheds are littered all over country Australia. If you could run sheep, most properties also had a shearing shed as it was not viable to move the sheep very far to be shorn. The farmer would muster the sheep into a paddock nearest
Secret key
At first, this prompt seemed very simple. But on second thought, I’ve come a long way. My first attempt was to quilt a once dyed piece of fabric and add something and that’s it. But that just didn’t work out. I still had plenty of time and I made a
