And here it is...

... our work for Rhapsody in Blues...

The f that unites the pieces stands for forte in music, meaning loud or strong. But of course, forte also means a person's talent and we are showing out talents here. F also stands for our group, Fibrecircle.

It's always hard doing parts of works sight unseen, when you don't know what others are making. I think this worked out pretty well and it certainly shows our individual approaches to creativity!

You can see our work, along with many others, on the ATASDA stand at the Sydney Craft and Quilt Fair at Glebe Island, June 17 - 21. There will also be lots of brilliant demonstrations of different textile art techniques every day, so we hope you'll visit!

A little taste of something special

Last week, our contributions to our collaborative work, on the theme of Rhapsody in Blues, were due in. It will be displayed, along with many others at the ATASDA stand at the Sydney Craft and Quilt Fair at Glebe Island in June. It's not quite together yet but here's some teasers...

We'll show you the finished work soon, we promise!

Darling Harbour Craft & Quilt Fair

Sorry to go silent! We've created a stack of gorgeous stuff to share with you, which I hope we can do soon. But in the meantime, we've been distracted by the upcoming ATASDA stand, displaying and selling work at the Sydney Craft and Quilt Fair, Darling Harbour this week. Several of us will have work on display and for sale.

Tricia and Nola have gorgeous silk scarves, bags made from breakdown printed fabric and a range of hand-dyed reusable gift bags, replacing wasteful paper wrapping with something useful as well as decorative.

 

Carol has covered some art journals.

Bev has made some fabric bowls and a cushion from her rust-dyed fabric that is just to die for!

We also have our beautiful garden fragment on display and it's for sale too!

Five of us will be manning the stand at various times during the show, so why not stop by to say hello? ATASDA members will be demonstrating various kinds of textile art work during the five days, mornings and afternoon, and there'll be a visual feast of work to enjoy.

Darling Harbour, June 12-16, 9-5 every day.
