The deadline for our show draws nearer 

Today was the first of three days activity towards our 2017 exhibition, it starts this Friday May 5 and runs through to Sunday May 7th. Piles and piles of quilts arrived at Brush Farm House ready for judging. 


Our judges this year are Amanda Daly, Chris Jurd and Kathy Doughty. Thanks so much ladies for giving of your time so generously today. 


And of course, tasty food featured as at any quilting event …. bodes well for our weekend cafe! 


Now we just have the wait until the offical opening for the results of the judging!

Slipstitch at Mosman Art Gallery

Well worth the trip to Mosman is an exhibition that is finishing this Sunday, January 29th. 

Slipstitch is an exhibition of contemporary embroidery from a diverse group of artists and on a wide range of subjects. The idea behind the exhibition is that embroidery can be used to convey messages in modern times just as it did in the past. I really appreciated that a number of the works featured reused textiles and materials. It was also great to see embroidery as a focus of a whole exhibition. 

Here are a couple of my favourites – I love how the stitcher used traditional methods and materials to convey a modern message.
