Tricia is an incredible artist in all that she does. She has no fear in giving it a go. I envy her ability to just let lose. I have been inspired, now all I need to do is make time. Follow Tricia as she shares not on her own journey but other incredible Artist.

June here already? At https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61584452353584 (clothing into art) it will be devoted to appliqué and fabric collage, totally influenced by our focus of turning clothing into art, exploring techniques, and finding new ways to integrate textiles into what you wear.

We'll be introducing you to skilled and innovative makers who cut, layer, stitch and combine textiles in unexpected ways. Some work on quilts, some on wall pieces, some on sculptural textiles—but the ideas don't stop there.

Many of these techniques translate beautifully to clothing. A sleeve, a coat back, a collar or pocket can become a place for storytelling, colour and personal expression. If adding your art, hobby or expert textile skills on to your clothing interests you, June should provide plenty of inspiration.

Share this page with your like minded friends as we invite them too, to follow ‘clothing into art’ at https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61584452353584 or visit www.clothingintoart.com for the workshops that can show you and them how.

And the image? Just a wee taste of what is to come with practical techniques and tips.

See you there

King's Birthday Weekend Exhibition.

"Only a month to go! Whangamata Patch and Quilt Group is very excited to announce that they will be the first to exhibit the Aotearoa Quilters Members' "Intertwined" Challenge. They will also have the Regional Challenge. Their Guest Exhibitor, Cherie Gurney, is coming up from Christchurch to "talk to" her Exhibits. This is a great opportunity to have her present with her award winning quilts and meet Cherie in person!

Whangamata is a beautiful seaside village on the Coromandel. Only 2 hours from Auckland. Definitely worth a day trip.
