Coffs Harbour Quilt Tables

Top photo shows Kerry and My table, displaying what we had for sale and example of our works. Kerry had her lovely coloured wool tops and packets of her mohair, silks, ready for any creative textile artist for their supplies.
Kerry did a workshop on Nuno felted scarf and her Ashford Wild Drum carder.

Sitting next to us was a lovely lady Lorna who was representing Klema's Punch Embroidery. I was totally fascinated as well as the many people who stopped and was given a punch needle and worked a piece given to them by Lorna and before long they were working this embroidery. The kookaburra photo is an example of what you can achieve when you purchase a kit from her and with many pictures to choose from.
She sold out of the kookaburra very early as it was very popular.

Feathers on Felted Hats No 2

More hand felted hats for the Quilters Show at Coffs Harbour Race Course.
Even a couple for the fellas using natural brown/black Romney fleece.
I just love the emu feathers that I purchased at Alice Springs Beanie Festival 2009.

Double click to see hats in detail. A little bling/glitter has been used as embellishment.

Feathers on Felted Hats No 1

I have been busy creating hand felted hats for the Quilters Show at Coffs Harbour Race Course Sept 11th - 13th.

First I had to dye the fleece, so I had lots of fun in the back of my garage, with pots of dye, and the microwave working continuously.
Then I had to get down to the hard yakka. Making about 3 hats a day, then there is the embellishment and decoration that makes a hat special.
I was lucky I had in my stash a collection of beautiful feathers, so with a little colour co-ordination I hope I have created a stylish hat.

My personal hat is the one bottom photo, middle, greens and rust with a point with coloured feathers sew in the peak. I will wear that during the quilters show.
