Some highlights -
Ann Smith's art quilt in the Fine Art Quilts Masters competition |
A masterful Fine Art Quilt by Valerie Huggins |
Mexican quilters had interpreted sayings - eg "Everything can fit in a small jar if one knows how to organise it", which from my seat at coffee time looked like an embroidery by Boetti |
Luke Haynes used friends' clothing to depict them in his Clothes Portraits |
His lecture was excellent, and he was much in demand for photography |
Another excellent lecture by Susan Lenz, showing how her work evolved, one thing leading to another - this is part of a huge display of keys |
Subtle bark cloth by Bobby Britnell |
Seeping paint on pojagi, by Clare Smith |
Jenni Dutton's "Dementia Darnings" - the finger indicates the surprisingly large size of the stitches |
A border of nails on Laura Kemshall's quilt |
Talisman pouches at the Through Our Hands stand |
Eucalyptus by Anna Brown, in the Australian exhibit |
The Japanese technique is chiko chiko - not sure of the spelling, so I'm hoping to hear more about it from the Belgian lady who made the bag |
The CQ stand, with some of this year's journal quilts |
Making the best of a long wait for the next train (should have gone for the red wine, with the chocolate muffin) |

This is fascinating. Being away this year, I was unable to go. Anna Brown's Eucalyptus quilt speaks especially loudly to me ... The black and white and the abstract shapes ... so lovely and crisp and striking! Thank you for sharing.
Very interesting.
