Fav blogs


While reading through all the info on blogs, I realised that blogs are already part of my life. I have a small blog on my Bebo page, to let our Scottish rellies know what's going on here in Oz.
I read a couple of blogs regularly - but that's it, as blogs could just take over your life. I already try to fit in so many things into my free time!

Here's my favourite blog to read, "Postcards from Cairo":
http://jennybowker.blogspot.com/
Jenny Bowker is an internationally recognised art quilter and teacher. She also happens to be married to a diplomat who has just finished as the Australian Ambassador to Egypt. Previously they have lived in other Middle Eastern countries. Jenny combines her cultural exploration of Egypt with her quilt-making. Her latest incredible art quilt was a portrait of an Egyptian man (from a photo she took of him). Here is a photo of the quilt on Flikr: http://www.flickr.com/photos/7665648@N04/2477225640/

Another blog I read is by a new quilter - a Dutch woman, Linda, who moved to Brisbane last year because her husband got a job with UQ.
http://q-linda.blogspot.com/
So many quilters on our e-list wanted to read her blog that she now has an English language one for Aussie readers and a Dutch one for people back in the Netherlands. I'm enjoying watching a new quilter develop her skills as well as discover our great city.

Wow Sharon, the Gazebo looks great. I am pretty sure that it wasn't up the last time I went to your place. Enjoy the last week before you go away, have an awesome time.

Hi Kel
the gazebo was built before the house!! Only 3 more days - I'm getting so excited. You enjoy your trip, too. See you when you get back.
