Hi Sharon,
I have just become interested in Crazy Quilting and found your site this morning. Amazing!! I am in love and ready to try my hand thanks to all of the wonderful information and pictures of your beautiful work.
I live on the MidNorthCoast NSW and was wondering if you ever do any classes in Newcastle or Sydney.
Thanks for sharing your beautiful art.
