If you haven’t already popped into Te Takere Library to see the travelling Suitcase Exhibition, time is running out. I returned again today to view these 21 small works of art, and as often happens, noticed things I never did first time around. Here are a few which took my fancy.
Sonja Revell is a name we all know, the current President of Rose City Quilters, and she was our Speaker in July. I love soft and pretty quilts and “There are Tuis in my Garden” is delightful. An original design featuring tuis, kowhai flowers and ferns – what could be more Kiwi than that?
Paying homage to our cousins across the ditch is “Australian Desert” by Carole Sorrel. This is an abstract interpretation of the colourful Australian desert, and is hand quilted with perle cotton.
And now for something completely different - “Hopscotch”, by Alison Laurence. This original design was inspired by memories of schooldays in the playground.
Do go along to see the exhibition – you won’t be disappointed.
