This year we showed our quilting skills for the first time at Melbourne Arts Festival. We had lots of visitors and plenty of complements about the quilts. Everyone took turns to look after the quilts, which where based in the Senior Citizens centre and chatted to people from all over the country about our work. Go to the gallery to see some of our quilts.
September - Making Indian bags
This week we will be using some of the fabric that we printed a few weeks ago, using the wooden printing blocks. We added different sari fabrics, ribbons and beads to create small Indian style bags.
Folded fabric panel
This time we will be looking at producing a folded fabric panel by taking a larger piece of fabric and creating small folds. These are then sewn in different places, finger pressing the small folds in different directions.
