Only visited Sydney for 5 days (pre Olympics) so not much help there. But I just
received some adorable Koala fabric in a thunkie and I'd be willing to share a bit
of it if you like. Colors are predominantly gray-blue-greenish on white.

Not been there yet, but it is on our list. How about some photo fabric of
Ularu (sorry about sp) or some Aborgine designs.?

last winter when I was there, i was given a great book with Assie animals
done in Paper piecing. I would be happy to chat with you if you think I
might be able to give some ideas. There were animals and birds. All were
made into blocks -- not appliqued.

It was such a great trip to AU and NZ that I will go back in a couple years
for more hiking and visiting. The friendliest folks live there!!!

Tell us what your expertise is? Applique? Then you could applique
Australian animals. Or, I have a pattern for a friendship wall
hanging, smallish which is appliqued wattle blooms (national flower)
and waratahs (another native flower) which allows for a few friendship
words in the centre of the wreath of blooms. Quite pretty. Australian
quilt fabrics are few and far between, possibly available on mail
order from Aussie stores, or I could send a couple of fat quarters to
you. I also have a pattern for a landscape which have a picture of
Uluru (Ayers Rock) in the centre surrounded by some animals.

Oh! thank you so muchIwould love a copy of the pattternthe fat quartersmwould
be nice. E-mail me about cost and I will send it on to you. How best to send
it?Betty

Hi Sharon How nice to hear from you. I am planning to do this wall hanging 18
wide by24inches high. I want pictures,post cards, fabric Things I can
photograph(copy) draw, applique whatever. My idea is to have two (man&woman)
facing each other. no face features- the area of the brain.will be full of
pictures of things of a Australia. For both heads. Then I will embroidery the
word MEMORIES either on the top or bottom. it seems weird, I know, but she is
a social worker with troubled teenagers and he is a physiologist., so I thought
this would amuse them. Any help, suggestion you can offer, I will be happy to
get and will cover any expense to you. Thanks a Bunch Betty
