This week’s TBT harkens back to a serendipitous connection between two former students of mine, Terri Ahrens and Ria Mille. Terri is from Australia and Ria is from Belgium. Terri brought her massive, iconic quilt of Uluru (formerly known as Ayers Rock) in Central Australia to Belgium to be displayed onstage at her daughter’s master’s recital in Antwerp. As coincidence would have it, Ria attended that concert and recognized a spectacular fabric collage quilt when she saw it.
The two posts linked below are dedicated to each of these amazingly talented ladies and their quilts. The story of their chance encounter is told in the Uluru post.
I am happy to have been the connection that brought Terri and Ria together from halfway around the world. Fabric collage is international, as you will see in this week’s regular Saturday morning blog post, where I feature Finish Line quilts from quilters around the country and around the world: both coasts and middle of the U.S., Canada, Australia, and Slovakia.
Fabric Collage Master Class
For instructions on the entire fabric collage process, you can purchase the Susan Carlson Fabric Collage Online Master Class Manual. Using video, photos, and text I take you from soup to nuts, beginning to end in creating your own fabric collage masterpiece.

Note: If you want a inscribed copy (as in “To Jane”) I have to be home to do it, so you may want to check my teaching schedule. Otherwise your order may be delayed.
So amazing to see the Uluru. My husbond and I climed it in 1991, it was a must! And one of the highlight on our tour to Australia from DK.
Congratulations to the artist!
