The 2009 Textile Art Festival in Brisbane was a resounding success.
An exciting mixture of fibre, yarn and fabric with a good dose of fun...
|
|
||
| Textile guru Janet de Boer opened the event. |
||
|
|
||
| Displays of wearable art organised by Bernina wowed the audience. | ||
|
|
||
| Specialist retailers brought a treasure trove of textiles. | ||
|
|
|
|
| Entries in the competition - The Art of Recycling - astonished us with their ingenuity... and the use of materials that would otherwise be thrown away to create useful and attractive textile pieces... | and beautiful wearables. | |
    |
 Displays of spectacular quilts and textile artworks - even art knitting - provided loads of inspiration and viewing pleasure for visitors. |
|
|
|
||
| There was even a live link up with textile workers in India. |
||
|
|
|
| ...the shopping was tempting... |
Demonstrations, classes and workshops kept everyone informed and entertained throughout the day. |
|
|
|
| And Sunday Funday gave us all a chance to show off handmade creations... |
