18th Birthday - Quinn

It took 3 urchins to light all the candles on the birthday cake.

Happy birthday Quinn. Independence and some responsibilities.  I know you will have some amazing adventures this year.

Quinn asked for Cherry Goodie for dinner. He enjoyed it in the USA, and hasn't had it since being back in NZ. A dessert dinner it is.

Pavlova, custard, mousse, cherry goodie, waffles, chocolate pie, and lots of cream.

Waffles must  be Quinn's favourite meal.

Cherry goodie.

Tight wished him well for his birthday.

Rainbow Quilters - Quilt Show

Rainbow Quilters Show is on this weekend. I have three pieces on display. Memories, which has been selected to go the the World Quilt Show in the USA next week, Adaptation, and Boxes & Boxes


Detail of "Memories". Created during lockdown last year. It's a memory of my grandfather's kaleidoscopes I used to play with.


Adaptation is part of my "Connections" series.


Humans have adapted to live at sea level, at altitude, on ice sheets, in the tropics, and in deserts.

As in the past, humans will again adapt to any future climate coolings or warmings.

We will survive.


"Boxes & Boxes" explores our boundaries, and thinking outside the square.

Waffles

Sometimes Quinn will make waffles. He likes layers of maple syrup, ice cream, whipped cream, chocolate sauce, caramel sauce. I just like them plain.
