From the main exhibitions -
Lynn Ogle - "One Flax Flying". I liked the way this was divided into 3.
Thelma McGough - "Black Saturday" . I liked the colours in this memorial to the Victorian bush fire victims.
Griet Lombard - "Sunset at Waitarere Beach". An novel way to portray a sunset. Great colours.
Clare Smith - "A Change in the Weather". Lovely quilt in a limited palette.
Wendy Ward - "Michael's Quilt". Personally, I hate doing paper piecing although I admire the results. Here the colours are really well utilised.
Faye Quayle - "Wiltshire Summer Fields". Lovely lime and emerald greens mixed with browns.
After this, I ran out of batteries. You know how it is. Sorry I couldn't show you more.
Later with fresh batteries - the Silk Road Exhibition for which I have no catalogue. Sorry. This was the winning piece that I liked for its colours (no surprise there).
I think the next 2 are from the City & Guilds display. Again, I liked the use of colour.
These last 2 are part of the Western Canada Fibre Art Network Exhibition. The first features a really interesting layout.
This one was digitally printed - very clear image, and (wait for it..) great colours.
I've said it before and I'll say it again - fibre art in New Zealand is as good as anywhere in the world. Well done, everyone.
