Hi Joan!
So glad you enjoy our blog. The MiM challenge is a challenge amongst 8 quilt and textile artists who “Met in Melbourne” a few years ago at the Gala Dinner at AQC (Australasian Quilt Convention) which is held annually. Two of our Reddy Arts Textile Group happen to be members of MiM, who challenge themselves each year to a piece, based on the number 8 – Brenda is working on an octopus inspired diptych.
