Thanks to Bill Reker, the Traveling Exhibit Coordinator, for forwarding these images of the SAQA (Studio Art Quilt Associates) exhibit Food for Thought on display in Australia, and thanks to the person who sent him the pictures. The exhibit was on display in Brisbane, Sydney and Melbourne. The AQC, Australian Quilt Convention (Conference?) is held in a building of breathtaking beauty. I’ve decided that whenever I finally in this life ever get to Australia, I have to go during AQC just so I can see this building!
My “tomatoes” quilt, Insalata, on display at the AQC. LOVE that it is facing the center in a prime spot, and love the black walls on which the works are displayed.
Here’s another shot of the overall exhibit:
Don’t you just want to BE in this space? Insalata and other works in the Food for Thought exhibit are visible at the far end.
And one more…some day I really must get to Australia and New Zealand!
The best shots, for me, of my quilts when traveling are “neighborhood” shots–not just *my* quilt, since I already know what it looks like, but ones that show the context. Even better, when someone likes my work enough to get up and look at it closely–like the lady taking a detail photo! Woot!

Just wonderful! Great Photos.
I’m sure you’d love Australia.
The only large city I visited was Sydney and there you’ll find many older buildings – not only The magnificent Sydney Opera House.

I saw your Insalata quilt in Brisbane and loved it!
AQC (Australasian Quilt Convention) is in the Royal Exhibition Building in Melbourne, which is indeed a fabulous building.
