Gerhardt and Natasha, I’m in awe of the beautiful work you do. It was a real treat to make our way out to Kuranda and meet you both. Thank you for the time you took to show us around. Lucky me for traveling with your mum’s sister-in-law, eh? Even meeting Harry at Opal Time was cool. Thank you for everything! Sydney (and Aunt Peggy) now….back to shopping…
thank you Natasha for the extra fabric patch ,I love the vibrant colors and precise images ,great for quilting I have in mind Val
Nice work
We just love Gerhard’s work, having first met him at a market in Cairns in 2011. I am excited about ordering another limited edition print to compliment the one we already own and I have also made a lap quilt from 16 of his fabric patches.
Just beautiful, was given 10 patches from my daughter as a present
Just beautiful. What a selection! Lots to choose from and for us brings back happy memories of North East Australia, the colours are lovely.
Am sending one of your cards to a friend in Cooloola Cove, Qld. Will be back to choose some of your beautiful prints for quilting.
I find your work so uplifting.
Hi, bought 40 picture pack from you a while ago and an extra 17×17 crystal panel. To let you know I made the 17×17 panel into a picture by backing same and stitching around the large crystal and several smaller sections and then lightly stuffing them. I then placed it on a canvas and put little bits of bling on it like rain drops. it looked so good and the lady I gifted it to love it. Thank you for your work. also have made two 40×40 lap rugs one with birds, the other with butterflies which went to Canada as a Just Because gift. The frogs are next. Thank you again love your work.
How absolutely wonderful, choices are endless, thank you to my sister in law Maureen for bringing me to your website. Choices?????
I saw your designs at the Port Douglas market in 2012 but didn’t buy them. Time to correct that and now have ordered patches for a butterfly quilt
I would like to have some of everything! I simply love your work.
This is an amazing site, I am so excited to see all of your work, and to pick a unique design/ material for my quilting !
Beautiful work. I’m looking forward to looking through your site. I saw a picture of a sulfur crested cockatoo. I wood like a picture of a goffin cockatoo

Just love looking at the whole collection, still not quite sure which ones to choose but know it won’t be long before my first order is sent to you!

All I can say is WOW…. I love your fabric prints, I have made up and embellished , several . Every time I visit Mt Malloy , I buy several. I also have one of your photos of a cassowary in the bush. Love it .

So, point taken, if you are watching same-sex Porn.
Technically, he is popping in a porn film performer who has not been charged with any
crime, has called the accusations” patently false in every aspect.
Absolutely gorgeous designs and colours are just as bright as shown on the internet. I have bought 4 different colour schemes in lots to make patchwork quilts, altogether 30+ 6″ patches, plus larger ones. Now all I have to do is buy complimentary fabrics when I get home to Melbourne to make up the wall hangings or quilts. I have bought directly from the markets, some last year when I was in Port Douglas.
KEEP UP THE FABULOUS WORK. CONGRATULATIONS.
This is the second time purchasing your artwork. I love it and I am creating a quilt with them now. I find the colors so vibrant and each fabric square so unique. Thank you.

I have two projects to finish in quilting, then I will be back to purchase. I find your designs fascinating and colour provoking. They set the wheels off in my head as to how I can use them and in what form.
I appreciate your work and am looking forward to receiving some of your patches.
simply beautiful
I love your work, would like to learn more about as illustrations in stated childrens books. The ambient natural appeal… is a wonder. The likes of rarely seen (by me anyway)
Gotta fan…
Peace… Ro
I have just found your site, amazing I live in Central Qld and your patchs just bring everything to life, I do patchwork and quilting and my mind is working so fast on how I will incorporate some of your beautiful artwork. Thank you
Just saw you on FB beautiful designs.
Not doing any quilting at this time but getting ideas of how to use your work. Will be back to purchace as soon as I can. I am a fabric junkie!! I love your designs!
I fell in love the first time I saw the patches. The designs are amazing. How can I order? Im here in Dubai. Please reply.
Regards.
Stunning Gerhard! Saw your beautiful work at Auntie June’s in Hobart and felt drawn to check your webstie out… (yes I am your long lost second cousin). I am creating ideas in my head… back soon. PS I too am an acupuncturist!
So many beautiful patches that I can’t chose right now, but I will return. You have really captured the beauty of our country.
The artwork takes my breath away!!! Definitely started the ‘quilting juices’ flowing!
Incredible eye candy. Absolutely beautiful. I’m going to keep looking. Thank you.
Awesome! Your fabrics are amazing. I am sharing your site with all my fabric friends…
Truly amazing work you have done. You have a great eye for detail and images and photography. You must be doing a lot of traveling to different places that most of us will never get to. What you see and how you translate it into an art form truly amazes me. Do you ever give lessons, tips, tricks, about how you accomplish the changes in the images after they have been taken.
Sincerely,
Jennifer
..Lovely … I need to figure out how to get them to me in California. Your eye is incredible.
What an incredible eye you have – very talented. These nature designs really are stunning. Very glad I’ve found your site!
simply gorgorous.

Hard to find on the internet as there isn’t a web site and I don’t have facebook but thank goodness i perserved. I will be ordering some tomorrow as the patches are simply stunning.
Thank you for your beautiful work.
So so beautiful ,I love them all
Came over from an ad on the sidebar on my FB page. Very impressed with you Fabric patches.
Well very impressed with all the pics actually. Well Done. Good luck!!!
Great work as always Gerhard. I always eagerly await your new designs.
Awesome work…as a scientist I like the fact that your work evokes positive emotions towards nature which is what the world needs more of.
I just want to cry!! They are absolutely stunning and the quotes you have put to them are really touching. Can’t wait to get home on Monday and see (and buy) some more. Thank you, thank you, thank you!!

WOW, WOW, WOW, was all I could say when they arrived.
Planning to make a special quilt with these little beauties.
Keep up the excellent work.
Cheers
Irene
Bought some patches and excitedly waiting for there arrival.
I think your work is beautiful and truly inspiring. I have background in horticulture, conservation and then Geographic Information Systems, and lastly Natural History Film Making. Your recognition of the connected nature of living things, especially true of humans and the rest of nature is re-assuring. This lack of connection with the real world (natural environment) is what drives most people to distraction, but they often don’t realise that it is the re-connection with natural environments that is one of the most essential components of health (mental, physical, emotional and spiritual.
Thanks for all of it
Hi Gerhard – I bought some of your beautiful cards at the Market in Port Douglas today. Love the creative combination of your wonderful photography and artwork.
I just love your work. It shows your passion of art. Keep on growing
Your art/photography is the missing link for me with my hobby as an amateur photobug particularly with my love for the rainforest. Your work is amazing and captivating. I would love to learn your techniques as I too attempt to create what I call art/photography with photo editoring.

Wonderful art and photographs, looking at this brings me back to North Queensland where I used to live.
Best regards
Steinunn

Wow! I’ve just saw some of your work while on holidays in Nth Queensland (on display at the Eco Centre in the Daintree)… absolutely beautiful… glad i’ve found the website gallery!

Awesome work Gerhard! ~
I have ordered before, the cards are fantastic value
I bought one of your Curlew cards for my son and his family who experienced these birds during a visit to us from The Netherlands.
I also bought a painting of these birds for them from the Tolga Wood Shop along with the card. An ideal Christmas present and card which will bring back happy memories for them.
Thank you so much for your beautiful work…..Susan
My daughter purchase 10 cotton patches as a gift for me and they are just beautiful. I hope to make a small quilt for her, congratulations on such beautiful work.
Congratulations on your creative work.Love your designs on fabric. Hope to purchase soon
hi,
your prints are indescribable, i purchased a couple while on holiday in Cairns and I instantly have fallen for them, you are able to bring nature onto the prints!!!
It was lovely meeting you, and i cannot wait to purchase more!!!
Hi Gerhard. My name is Peggy and I live in the Daintree Rainforest.
Just yesterday I came across some of your beautiful cards (in the Daintree Discovery Centre) and I loved them straight away (and bought 3 of them).
I like your style (its unique), the information and sayings on the back and as well the price is reasonable, which is not often the case anymore!
So, thumbs up for your great work!
Cheers from the Daintree.
Peggy
