Show and Tell
Had a couple of my quilting friends around for lunch the other day and my girlfriend Lynelle had some wonderful show and tell. Her quilt was just back from the quilters and I just loved the fresh fabric and mix of geometric and floral fabrics. Its been really cold in Sydney hence the fire.
My name is Robyn Ahern and I have been involved with patchwork and quilting for over twenty years. I was introduced to the craft in the late 1980’s and have been obsessed ever since.
My early quilts were very country in flavour although my tastes have evolved and I could be working on an intricately hand-pieced quilt in reproduction fabrics at the same time as preparing a machine-made bright funky kid’s quilt.
I was the editor of Patchwork and Stitching magazine for four years and during this time was immersed in the craft world. Quilting has been very rewarding for me and I have made many life long friendships over the years. I am currently dabbling in different crafts including punch needle and hook rugs but spend most of my time designing quilts.
