Diary of a traveling Quilter

I'm a quilter and I travel the world sharing my love of quilting with friends and students. I find myself in some interesting places and situations - but I wouldn't have it any other way!!!! http://www.pamhollanddesigns.com/

Name: Pam Holland
Location: Australia

I'm a quilter with a passion for art, history and travel. I design my own quilts for exhbition, class and as patterns. I have recreated a wonderful quilt made in 1776 and my book is in publication now. I write to share my travels with family friends and students, and I'm told that my stories are like my photos... just a little different...!!!

31st October

Early morning and it’s a little darker out this morning. Daylight saving gave me an extra hour yesterday but I’m back to real time this morning.
As a Tutor, my schedule doesn’t allow me to get out to shops to view the latest in notions and fabric.
Quilt market twice a year affords me the best opportunity to see “what’s in and what’s out”
Yesterday I sampled batting, 5 new samples from Hobbs. I’m looking forward to testing when I get home.
I saw a vacuum for your threads, A light for your rotary cutter, The most stunning vintage notions. (Huge chunky bake-light buttons) New books and new fabrics.
Jackie Robinson is following on with her flower series and this time her fabric features “fuchsias”
Sue Nickels and Darlene Christophersen have made a breathtaking raffle quilt, take a look.
Time to go and begin a busy day.
Best wishes..
Pam
