3D Art Quilts Trunk Show
Jackie White steps outside the traditional
Take a step outside of the traditional flat quilt as Jackie shares her unique 3D quilts filled with colour and a touch of modernism. See how gorgeous embellishments, like flowers and leaves, come to life and seem to jump right off the fabric.
Fashion Arts Stage – Fri 2:30
Karen Menzies… Creating one-of-a-kind pieces in cotton, silk, linen out of my stash of new and repurposed materials makes me smile. Fibre is my obsession. Once a traditional hand quilter, she now produces her work by machine using natural materials though she undertakes some embellishments by hand. Taking and teaching workshops provides exposure to new and innovative techniques and memberships in art groups of like minded individuals keep the creative juices flowing.
