Stories in Stitches V
Information
What is it?
An exhibition of quilts (chiefly) but also hooked rugs and other artistic fibre/fabric and needlecraft …the fifth show since 2013.
The venue is St. Paul’s, the richly wood-worked Anglican church built in 1898. It is wheelchair accessible.
Some large quilts are displayed on stands; most works are draped or set on the pews and hung on the railings of the church. There is continuous supervision, and touching is controlled. Background music is played. There are demonstrations by a number of artisans.
A special feature: raffle of a queen-size Kindred Spirits quilt worth +/- $1800
Items will be labelled with contact data and information about the history, intent and technique of the work.
A fine opportunity for craftpersons to display their work, in a wonderful setting, to an appreciative audience of 1200, including many cruise-ship passengers.
