next week, New Zealand
I'm really looking forward to displaying our '50 years of flower power' piece in Auckland, New Zealand, next week.
It's taking just a quick trip...and it will be on show for 3 days only (April 28-30) at the new Stitches & Craft Show at the ASB Showgrounds.
I hope that lots of Kiwi crafters will enjoy seeing it there.
Many thanks to the show organizers for shipping it over (and then back to Aust. again, where it will be on display next at the S&C show in Adelaide the following week).
I'll aim to get a few more photos then, but in the meantime here are a few closeups that were taken at one of the other showings last year.

on display again...
From today until Sunday the Flower Power collaborative freeform crochet artwork is on display once again, this time at the Brisbane Stitches & Craft Show at the Exhibition Centre, Southbank, Brisbane, Qld., Australia.
Nobody who comes to the show is going to miss it...it will be the first thing visitors will see when they come in the door.
This photo taken last night, after it was hung. I'll post a few more photos later, once the crowd arrives.
Next month it is going to travel to two other S&C shows too; first to the one in Auckland, New Zealand, and then it will fly back across the Tasman Sea in time for the show in Adelaide.
After that, it will be on display in a regional Queensland gallery for a couple of months...at the Warwick Art Gallery, at a time that will coincide with the town's annual 'Jumpers & Jazz in July' festival.
...and if you would like to join me in creating something for a bit of collaborative yarn bombing, I'll be overseeing the making of some freeform crochet (and knit) jumpers (sweaters) to decorate a couple of the trees around Warwick when the festival is on. All the details of what to create and where to send your piece at https://www.facebook.com/groups/237936883210327/?fref=ts and you can read more about the yarnbombing at 'Jumpers & Jazz in July' at http://www.jumpersandjazz.com/#!yarnbombing/c1se

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.

from our showing in Canberra
Our 50 Years of Flower Power piece went on show in Canberra, our national capital, during the past week, and we had a very different configuration for the artwork this time.
For this show we had the opportunity to display the piece wrapped around a long, narrow section of wall that ran right down the middle of the main thoroughfare through the show - visitors definitely couldn't miss it ☺
We'll be setting it up again soon, too, because later this week it will be on display yet again, from Thursday to Sunday, at the Craft & Quilt Fair in Newcastle, NSW. If you are in the area, I hope we will see you there.
I'll blog again with the comments from our book, together with more photos from Canberra, just as soon as I get the chance...but in the meantime, here are snaps of a few freeformers who attended the show wearing their own gorgeous one-of-a-kind creations.
Very many thanks to Wendy, Rita and Liz for agreeing to pose for the blog
...don't they all look fantastic, and doesn't our display make an absolutely fabulous backdrop?
