Some Eye Candy for Those not at the Last Meeting

A small peek (on the left) at some of the postcards doing the rounds in the postcard swap at the moment.



 On the right is some gorgeous weaving, a very successful first quilt, a lovely bright textile art piece and the clever use of a vinegar bottle to make a mask for the 'White' exhibition. (Save your vinegar bottles which have handles!)

More inspirational ghostly stick people pictured to the left.



 Diane C continues to make these delightful knee rugs for nursing homes. Those shown on the right are just three of many she brought in at the last meeting.

And while on the subject of charitable ventures, during the meeting some hands kept themselves busy knitting squares for Dinie's knitted rugs for charity.

AGM 2011

The AGM was held on Wednesday, 9th March 2011. It was well attended and for those unable to be there, the various reports may be found in your latest newsletter. Our new committee consists of the members pictured above: standing left to right: Annette S, Lyn H, Jan C, Margaret D and Pam W; sitting Deb P, Kath S and Suzanne C. Absent were Arlene W and Suzanne G. Thank you from us all for taking the helm.

Opening of our Lengths of the Earth Exhibition

The opening of the display of the Lengths of the Earth hangings was very well attended. Made by a large number of Fibres and Fabrics members the pieces are hung in the stairwell of Federation House. The opening was hosted by Sharyn D who so generously offers the group space to exhibit their work amongst her family's art collection. The building is open to the public during the week and viewing is free. It's truly worth a visit.

For those unable to personally see the exhibition, Janet will be compiling a more detailed record of this challenge at a later date. To see a few more general photos click on the collage above.
