OZQUILT NETWORK - INC. - call for new members

I am a committee member of Ozquilt Network and I would seriously encourage all Art Quilters to think about joining our organization. It is the only organization for Art Quilters in Australia.  It gives you the opportunity to exhibit with the organization. There is a newsletter every few months with relevant information about exhibiting opportunities, workshops, etc.... So please read the information below and check out the website. www.ozquiltnetwork.org.au/

Water

"Water"  - the South Australian Quilt Guild Challenge for 2013 is WATER
So is the Art to Wear. So get your thinking caps on and go for it. You must be a Guild member to enter but I encourage all to participate so we can have a bigger and better show in November.
I have been thinking all weekend and so where is the best palace to go and think about water???
Of course the beach - so off we went this morning to one of our favourite beaches  - Grange. It was hot and I came back with a red face and a few shots but not much idea of what I may do. But I will keep thinking and a plan will come... I hope!!! I must keep thinking and so should you all - so enter!!!!

Merry Xmas

Marden Senior College Exhibition

It has been the most busy week for me - Marden Senior College Art Exhibition on Thursday night then Saturday and Sunday I attended the Adelaide Quilt and Craft Show - both demonstrating RAw Edge Collage and giving floor talks for the "Beneath the Southern Sky" exhibition which was extremely well received indeed. And then on Monday a very long day with work, a dinner with the Certificate 1V students and the our meeting of FAN (Fibre Artist Network). The FAN meeting was extremely well attended - 42 of us discussed what's on, showing work etc - all to do with Textiles - a great day and a very tired Suzanne here who was not very functional the next day.

Last Thursday night was Marden Senior College Art Exhibition where my students exhibited their textiles. It was a wonderful night with about 300+ people enjoying the displays. The staff also exhibited in their our  room - it was excellent to see other teachers art works.
And the student work was also wonderful - well done all!!!
