Roslyn states that:
'I started quilting in 1990 and quickly realised that if I hand sewed and quilted I would never finish anything. Hence I have been machine oriented.
I joined the Guild in 1991 and entered the 1993 Guild Challenge – ‘October Around the World’ and won Viewer’s Choice. This inspired me to enter Colours of Australia in 1994 and I was juried into this competition, and as well the following year 'Australia Dreaming-Quilts to Nagoya’.
I find that my particular interest in making a quilt is the planning and design stage and free motion machine quilting, although after a lesson from Lois French I have developed a love of needle turn hand appliqué.
I started attending Community Quilts in 1992 and loved the mix of ages and freedom to make a quilt from orphan blocks. In those days there were 3 large boxes of orphan blocks and it was a great challenge to match them altogether. It was a real learning curve.
After Ruth Carter passed away in 2000 I volunteered to take on the role of co-ordinating Community Quilts. We standardized the size of the quilts and generally streamlined the process to keep our production going. I love the challenge of making a quilt using what fabric we have as it forces you to ‘jump out of your box’.
Over the years I have won three 1st prizes, two 2nd and one 3rd prize at Darling Harbour. I was made a Life Member of the Guild in 2004 and presented with the National ‘Lut-Da’ Award in 2011 for service to community through quilting.'
