Wild Women Textile Arts Group

I have make a couple of changes to our blog site and am seeking your feedback.  I have added a new page called Links of Interest which you should be able to access by clicking the link under our Wild Women banner. I think this works well for the links to like minded groups and workshop tutor websites etc. but I'm not sure whether the non Wild Women events should go here or on the calendar on our homepage.  To see an example of how an event might look on the calendar go to September and you will see I've added the Quilt Journeys exhibition. Please comment on this post to let me know which option you prefer: Keep the calendar for our Wild Women events (meetings, workshops) etc and use the links page for other events; or Add them all to the calendar.

I'm really happy with the end result - a lovely and bright apron with deep pockets! What have you done with your workshop pieces? Happy making!

Hi ladies There were so many inspiring creations shared during the Show and Tell at our meeting yesterday! It was both enjoyable and idea generating. Photos and comments by each of us of our contributions, would make a great reference over time for the group. So to get the ball rolling, I thought I'd post my fabric pages on the theme "Places".  Spine & front cover Happy Places page Canberra page Stamps of Australia page I have made comments on the pages and provided further photos on my blog. You can access these by clicking on this link.  Cara Creates: Places to go . One question I was asked was the glue I used for the "stamp" page. It's called Rico Design napkin glue. I bought it at a craft show in a kit. Click on this link for more info  Rico Design Napkin Glue . It dries to a transparent, non-sticky, water resistant film. I've found it to work really well in adhering paper / tissue to fabric. Looking

Patti's final submission for the Gold Coast Show is this beautiful dream catcher.

Hard at work on my silk paper fabric art journal as you can see: What do you use to support your fabric book pages - wadding, interfacing, cardboard?

Patti has been hard at work on her entries for the Gold Coast Show and asked if I could post these photographs for her. As the title of the post suggests, the Millinery theme this year is "Mad Hatters Tea Party".  Don't they look fabulous?!!! Half Past Liquorice M'selle Blanche Lapin
