50 years of flower power - a freeform crochet and knit artwork

This blog has been documenting the creation of a unique piece of wall art for an upcoming Sydney textile show. Freeform crochet or knit contributions were sought worldwide, for a collaborative artwork to be exhibited at Fibrefest, June 17-21, 2015, in conjunction with the Craft & Quilt Fair at Glebe Island, Sydney, Australia. All the 'scrumbles' have now arrived, but you will be able to continue to watch the progress here. Enjoy!

We're on the cover!

It's been a while since I last blogged, but today I have some great news:

Our 50 Years of Flower Power artwork has made it onto the cover of the latest edition of an Australian textile magazine:

I just picked up my copy from the post office, and it looks fantastic. There's also a 3 page article, with lots of photos.

If you are interested in purchasing a copy you can do so at http://www.moremags.com.au/textiles/dut/down-under-textiles-21

...and the good news for all our contributing crocheters from around the world is that they will mail overseas, so get your order in early, before they are all snapped up.

Our artwork will be touring even further in 2016; I'm afraid you'll have to be patient for a while longer, but I'll be letting you know where and when as things are finalized.
