Dijanne Cevaal is an Australian textile artist whose quilts I find fascinating - there are four in the TCQC, plus some fiber art postcards. In addition to creating fiber art, she teaches classes in Australia and Europe and has a wonderful self published book "72 Ways Not to Stipple or Meander (Ideas for Free [motion] Machine Quilting)". Info on the book be can be found on her blog at:

"Forest II" Dijanne Cevaal 2003 46"W x 42"L
This was the view from the window of Dijanne's studio in Victoria, Australia. The background is her hand dyed fabric. It is embellished with photo printed images of guinea fowl feathers drifting down from their roosts in the trees. Machine embroidered, Machine quilted.
This detail image shows the appliqued fabric guinea fowl feathers and some of the artist's outstanding quilting - usually with rayon threads.
"Banksias" Dijanne Cevaal 2005 12"W x 40.5"L
Free motion embroidery and quilting express the shape of these flowers very well. Banksias are native only to Australia and grow wild in Dijanne's yard; in the USA they are usually sold by the name Protea.
