Must do then -I did all my quilting at Panaga club, and I know the group continued -I used to teach some classes there until I left -long long time ago!! -However did you manage such a long stay in Paradise? -I have a friend there now, Carol Farmer but I dont think she’s into quilting, more am-dram. I am still in touch with Melinda Barry, Jennifer Wilkinson-Horne, Lydia de Mooij, Val Nourse and Sandra Bennet, and Elaine Suller who I didnt coincide with but met later in Holland. Do any of these sound familiar?? -It is all so long ago, we wpent the following 9 years in Holland and have now taken early retirement back to the UK -which is supposed to give me more time for quitling -but we have a big garden!…

Hello Hanneke, lovely to hear from you and so glad that my quilts have brought back happy memories of Brunei. Were you in KB? We also came here in 95 and have been here every since, maybe we know some of the same people.

Dear Anne -I’m so glad I’ve found your blog, such beautiful quilts, I ‘m going to try and follow your instructions. We lived in Brunei many years ago (95 -99) and your quilts and photos woke up all my memories, I think living in Brunei was one of the happiest times for my family! I did most of my quilting there too, as I had a lovely Iban maid working for me -I still miss her, no such luck since.
My sympathies to you on losing your sister, I too lost a sibling while living overseas and the distance makes the experience so much more difficult.
I’m going to have a good browse when I have done my housework!!
warmest regards, Hanneke Wood (now finally back in North Yorkshire!)

Thank you Freda. I imagine that you must have some very inspring scenery in Scotland. I love the tropical rain forest that we have here but sometimes there are times when I feel I’d like to make something with the softer colours of Northern Europe just for a change.

thanks for that creative tutorial/work stream- I never cease to be amazed at the generosity of quilting artists! I learn so much from the broadsweep and the little details of the tricks that makes the whole work. My first thought was Aysgarth Falls but clearly far away from that!
The colour pallet (sp?) is super and such a contrast to the northern colours I find in scotland. as you know. Hmm! The glue was a nasty trick of fate- when you get yourself geared up to focus and that happens !
Well done! Lovely use of styles thanks for the ‘invitation’ to visit.

thanks for showing how you do this – it sure is pretty. Must have been surprised by the spray glue I have never heard of that.
