Keep Me On The Map.

Each year the Australian Quilt Convention sets a challenge. This year’s challenge is titled ‘On The Map’. All entries must be 90 cms square and can include a variety of techniques. Judging is based on the makers unique interpretation of the theme, excellence in design and craftsmanship. Thirty finalists are selected to travel Australia throughout 2025, being displayed at various craft and quilt shows.

I am thrilled my quilt ‘Keep me on the Map’ is a finalist.

In a world where climate change is impacting our environment on a daily basis, many of our iconic creatures are facing a challenging time.

Such is the case of the Gang Gang Cockatoo, a favourite of many of us, but now on the endangered list. 

They nest in old tree hollows in eucalypt woodland forests. This habitat has been severely impacted by bushfires and with climate change, their young are dying in the nest from heat stress due to increased temperatures.

I am sure many of you share my sentiment to protect their habitat and Keep them “On the Map”.
