About

Me! I’m a technical communicator writer living in Perth, Western Australia… which might help explain the ‘sandgroper14′ part of the URL. A ‘sandgroper’ is a slang expression for a Western Australian, and my birthdate is the 14th.

I live with my husband and we’ve started in on the next stage of our lives together. We bought an acre of land ‘down south’ and will be going through building process for the first time ever. No doubt some of those frustrations might be aired here too… if they’re fit to print! We travel when we can and finances and work commitments allow it; having no children or pets means that we’re a lot more flexible than others in this regard.

Update (Feb 2007): We moved down south, but haven’t started the building process yet. We decided to move anyway!

Update (April 2009): Well, the global financial crisis has killed off any plans to build! Perhaps forever…

Hi Geraldine

I made that quilt a few years back and one of my friends bought it from me — it was one-of-a-kind and I have no more. I learned how to make it at a workshop run by Michelle from Handcrafter’s House (Raggedy Stitches) in Midland, Western Australia. You can contact her at michelle@raggedystitches.com — she knows me well, so tell her you found the quilt on my blog and ask if she still sells the ‘Cosmic Curves’ pattern. I believe she based the pattern on Ricky Tims’ convergence technique.

Hello Rhonda, I just randomly came upon this page while browsing the internet, and those two leaf quilts with the red/green color and the blue color are really beautiful and I was just wondering if I could have your permission to use the two images as a front and back cover to my Album demo that i’m currently recording, I feel like it matches the theme of the music. You can email me at eliasabidaoud@gmail.com . Thank you!

Hi Elias

Do you mean these? http://sandgroper14.wordpress.com/2012/01/07/2012-fmq-challenge-january/

Sure, go ahead. Just send me pictures of the finished product when it’s done so I can add them to my blog (see email address above). Can you also send me more info about the album?
