About Me

Lived in Western Australia until 1969. Moved to Melbourne, worked in New Guinea, Scotland, United States and England. Returned to Australia in 1999 and haven't stopped working since.

Favorite Music

Elizabethan, Cajun, Blues, Jazz, Light Classical, Rock & Roll and Johnny Cash.....

Favorite Books

Quilting magazines

Favorite Movies

An Officer and a Gentleman... there must be others.

Favorite Television

Current Affairs... until the media starts with its hype, then I flick the television to Off.

Pastimes

Experimenting with patchwork pattern and design. Cataloguing and storing the trillions of family photographs to USB - in case of fire.

Swapping

Fabric... Nothing else, just FABRIC... and coloured Sharpies - they're great for drawing designs.

My Children

Fledlings three. They've flown the coop and are flying free. Woopee!

I like

Fabric.

Black, Grey, White. Red, Purple, Blue. Green, Yellow, Orange. Brown, Tan, Cream.

and.....

S h a r p i e s.

I love making up the fabric packages for my swap partners. There's something magic in the notion that they will, hopefully, be delighted.

I don't like

Ticky-tacky. I do not collect ornaments, jewellery, novelty items, souveniers. I am purging my home by the truckload, save the sewing room because I want to concentrate one thing! Quilting and Design. Oh, well, OK then. Two things!

Comment: Thank you for the blue fabric you sent, I love it. The letter about your trip reminds me of some of my frazzled trips to the fabric store. Thank you so much for the matching charm squares.

Comment: Another great package! Wish I could get you for a partner every time! There were only 2 repeats from last time but I don't mind since I like the designs and could use more of them. Thanks for the A.A.Milne verse - I just love his Pooh stuff!

Comment: Hi Georgie! Wow...what a variety of goodies you sent me! I love the fabric! The notions are great! The kookaburra pattern is super...I'll have to figure out how to pop this into a lesson. I'm confused about the scroll thing...because I think it got lost. When the package got here...all of the sides of the envelope were ripped open....the tape was all that was holding it together....so I think that one item must have escaped it's journey! The Austrailia "green" bag is really wonderful also. Thank you so much! You out did yourself!

Comment: This package did bring me much pleasure - thanks so much! Thank you for the leaf scans - I can use them in my collages. They brought back a lot of memories. We used to live in Southern California where there are a LOT of eucalyptus trees. I'm quite familiar with the smell! I have also been to the east coast of Australia. Oh yes, thanks for the fabric scraps too! The banana print is quite amusing. I also like the stamps on your envie. Since joining Swap-bot I have become a stamp collector because I have been getting so many interesting ones from all over the world.
Response: Hi Lisa. You've got me again!! I was thinking, "Gee, that was quick!" then I realised. Glad you enjoyed your package. The next one will be a little tame by comparision. Thank you for your generous rating.

Comment: Received your package great colors and thank you for the scrolls, I can't wait until Keegan can share in them so we can explore together. Checking them out on the computer will be exciting for him. Thank you.
Response: Delighted that you were pleased. Wish I was a fly on the wall when you were sharing with Keegan. That would be such fun.

Comment: I love all of the fabric that you chose for me, the extras were nice also. You mentioned a baggie of stickers and such, but there wasn't any baggie in the box. Don't worry about trying to send it to me, you have spent enough just getting the original box to me! Thanks so much

Comment: Thank you for the pretty blocks and the lovely magazine and FQ. I greatly appreciate them.
Response: Relieved to know that you were pleased. The cutting of the charms was not entirely to my satisfaction. Have a NEW rotary blade now, though. Enjoy. Georgie

Comment: So exciting to get my package. The extra magazine was a brilliant surprise. I love magazines and its fab to get one from another country. And the fabrics were laid out so nicely too. However, the envelope was almost disintegrated around the edges. It was lucky the fabric didn't fall out. Maybe for airmail it needs parcel tape around the edges? Thank you so much Jane
Response: Packaging? Of course! I didn't think about the magazine rubbing on the paper envelope in transit to England. Parcel tape? Jolly good idea. Thank you for the tip. I'm amazed at the speed of the postal service. Glad you are pleased with your package. It gave me great pleasure to make it for you. Cheers Georgie
