Comments by the fabricators of the HANDMADE APRONS: I used the colours of the feminist movement – green, blue and white. Caroline Chisholm always spoke of ‘Providence’ present in her life and in the situations she faced. Likewise, it was her Christian beliefs that led her to ‘provide’ homes for many.

Comments by the fabricators on the HANDMADE APRONS: After much thought, I designed and embroidered this letter using Brazilian embroidery. I enjoyed it so much that I offered to do more letters. I was a little shy about showing Flossie my letter until it was finished as I hadn’t followed the rules Related [...]
Comment on chat about being the mother of six young children… 8:31 PM I think I looked tired most often but I was so busy that I did not know it. Though my life has never revolved singularly around ‘my children’ and inside I was always ‘the practicing artist’, I was content with the art that [...]
So, the exhibition is finished at Maryborough. It is all packed up and ready to be picked by Tom and I. We will first pack the van and drop that load off at Wangaratta. Then we will pick up the work from Maryborough and drop that off at Wangaratta on the way back from Melbourne. [...]
Chat online 8:26 PM me: thanks for the chat….xxxooo 8:28 PM Matthias: love you. 8:30 PM me: love you too. oh, i meant to tell you…looking at old photos and artifacts from Lobethal about you young boys was very sobbering (yes sobbering) for me.

I will get a chance to thank you in person, but I would also like to say thankyou, so very much, for [...]
Dear Flos The exhibition looks really slick and visit-worthy … congrats!

I should have been in contact earlier to tell you that the story was held over (it’s actually planned to go in this Saturday’s newspaper). My apologies for not letting you know sooner.

Jane Meegen of Adelaide wrote in the Maryborough guest book: ‘It made me think about our houses and what makes them a home’ Flossie replied…That is a super comment!

Images of the Opening…
I finished my latest art installation. I partially recycled my ‘used installation’ ALL FIRED UP’ as the base and worked a new level of interest and meaning. This piece prompting many levels of interpretation, was mostly inspired by the story told by one of my friends about how her father miraculously survived last year’s Victorian [...]
