When your friend loves pink shoes and it's her turn to get a birthday quilt you gather your friends, buy some bright fabric and make her a shoe quilt.

Australian Newzealand Art Quilters display at Quiltfest on the Goldcoast, Queensland.

I belong to the online group for quilt artists that live in Australia or New Zealand, or are citizens of these countries, living elsewhere.

It was a thrill to see the display of their journal quilts while I was at the Goldcoast with the SotAq09 exhibition.

Well done girls, great work this year and of course they are all being busy making this years journals.
