Brisbane Textile Art Festival June 25-27

Just a few pics taken at the Brisbane Textile Art Festival a week ago.

Gill Venn of Fibreworks blending beautifully with her collaborative crochet piece background.


The Queensland Quilters had a beautiful display.


The Art of Recycling competition was amazing!
This jacket was made from a 20 year old Kaffe Fassett jumper, taken apart and given a new life .


Loved these Zipper flowers.


I had a wonderful 2 days at this Festival with my friend Lisa. Lots of coffee, eats, meeting friends, improving our crochet skills, (not practised in the last 20 years or is that 30 in my case???) some spending and much oohing and aahing over textile and fibre delights!!! Highly recommend a visit to next years!

Where have I been??

Well, you may have wondered!!
No! I hadn't really died and gone to heaven!!   Almost!!
I've been to lovely warm Brisbane for the Textile Art Festival held at the Exhibition Centre, South Bank, last Friday 25th to Sunday 27th June. Had a wonderful time chatting to many like-minded Textile and Fibre lovers, doing workshops, seeing what's new, catching up with a friend I had not seen for 12 years, and thoroughly enjoying all that Brisbane has to offer.
I will post some pics when I have done my 2 days at the shop and "re acclimatised" to this COLD!
