yankalilla

those nine days away were fabulous

working at Yankalilla
in the midst of beautiful rolling hills that look like sleeping beasts



driving down the coast each evening
to a wee house by the sea
wandering over the cliffs in the gentle last light



we dyed and dyed and stitched and stitched

97 leaf-printed flags will flutter at the Leafy Sea Dragon Festival



and a huge hand-pieced patchwork will hang at Yankalilla
dyed with the "Colours of Home"
[about 3 metres high x 6 metres wide]

the last stitch went in at 7pm last night
by which time it was getting a little dark

for photography

and now i think of it
my first solo exhibition since 2009
opened at the Orange Regional Gallery last Friday
there will be a gathering in the space on April 13
...swing by if you're in the area?
