Canberra Quilters’ Ruby Anniversary
2016 is the 40th Anniversary of Canberra Quilters Inc, and there will be a wonderful range of work on
show at the Annual Members’ Exhibition, featuring work by both amateur and professional quilters, who
range in age from five to ninety-five.
There are twelve categories of quilts, both large and small, by individuals and special interest groups
such as Modern Quilters, Small Japanese Projects, Row by Row and Art Quilters.
This year’s challenge quilts are based on the theme, ‘Ruby’, for the 40th
Anniversary – the inspiration for an interesting variety of interpretations.
The Quilts for Others volunteer group will demonstrate the stages of the
quilting process, from cutting to piecing, quilting and the final binding. Since
QFO began, Canberra Quilters has donated more than 3000 beautiful quilts to local charities.
Always a highlight of the exhibition, the renowned Sales Room provides visitors the chance to buy
quality handmade items such as quilts, totes, cloth toys, Christmas decorations and sewing tools – a
Christmas shopper’s delight!
The 2016 Canberra Quilters Exhibition will be officially opened on Thursday, August 11 at 11 am.
Celebrate 40 Quilt Challenge
As part of the 40th anniversary celebration, a challenge entitled
‘Celebrate 40’ was opened to all quilters in Australia and New Zealand.
An interesting variety of quilts was entered, and the finalists will be on
display at the exhibition. The first prize was awarded to Beth Miller for her
quilt, ‘4 decades and 40 stars’, pictured right.
WIN A
FABULOUS
QUILT!
Buy a raffle ticket for the chance to win one of four great
prizes including two queen-size bed quilts made by talented
quilters, a Bernina sewing machine, and a hamper of sewing
and quilting goodies. Drawn at 4pm Sunday at the fair.

Enjoy the results of a
new mini textile art
challenge, where
quilters were invited
to enter a small piece
(25cm square) which
shows off and celebrates
their best furry friend.
Entrants have used appliqué,

The Medieval Project
Created and Curated by Guest Artist Dijanne Cevaal
Starting its exhibition life at Pour l’Amour
du Fil in Nantes, France and now in
Canberra, this textile art project is rich in
history and colour.
This project has been initiated by renowned Australian textile
designer and our special guest artist at the fair, Dijanne Cevaal,
with additional contributions from textile artists from around
Australia.
Techniques showcased include embroidery, linocut, hand dyeing,
stitching, layering, quilting and embellishing, ensuring this textile
display will stand the test of time. Each piece has been hand
printed, and is particularly beautiful in the cloth.
The linocut designs for this project have been inspired by the
medieval period in France known for its rich tapestries and
embroideries, in particular the figures on the Royal Portal at
Chartres Cathedral and the lady and the Unicorn tapestry in the
Cluny Musee in Paris. The Medieval Project radiates colour and
inspiration from this important part of history.
MEET GUEST ARTIST, DIJANNE CEVAAL
Don’t miss Dijanne demonstrating various textile art techniques
at the fair. She will also discuss the Medieval Project and
the inspiration behind the images featured in a floor talk at
12.30pm each day.
Dijanne Cevaal is a renowned Australian textile artist, teacher,
author, and experienced curator and organiser of international
exhibitions. These travelling exhibitions have showcased the
work of Australian textile artists in Europe, the Middle East,
South Africa, New Zealand and Australia.
Dijanne’s own work has also been exhibited around the world in
both group and solo exhibitions. “I love to dye and print fabrics
and assemble them into quilts with lots of stitching both by
hand and machine. I also create my own linocuts for printing on
fabric.”

textiles practitioners. Collaboratively the SAlt group sets
challenges to inspire, explore, extend, respond to, critique
and reflect on each theme. The six members are: Judy Bushby,
Suzanne Gummow, Julie Haddrick, Francie Mewett, Sara Bell

Jeans are perfect for the recycling treatment as long-lasting hardwearing denim is likely to be in good condition long after the jeans
are no longer in favour. Upcycle them into a skirt, bag, picnic rug, a
set of potholders or a pocketed storage piece – there must be 101
ways to stitch new life into your old denims.
Handknitted jumpers are another prime candidate for a second life.

You too could have a coat like mine.
Expertise Events, organisers of the Craft & Quilt Fair, has introduced a
new initiative in 2016 – the Craft for Kids Foundation. The Foundation
is for the collection and distribution of craft supplies, to give to charities
for children in their care to use in craft activities.
Craft allows children to explore their creativity and is pure expression through
their eyes with no rules or boundaries. The materials they work with are tactile,
colourful and varied and provide children of all capacities to explore; with the
satisfaction of making something as a gift or to keep.
Craft for Kids Foundation will donate craft supplies to charities that
care for Australian children who are physically, emotionally, financially or
geographically disadvantaged.
Expertise Events are also committing their craft experts to design and
produce projects that they will teach the children to make at special events.
You are invited to bring in your unwanted craft supplies and place them in
the special Craft for Kids Foundation area at the fair. Your donation will
be stored in Expertise Events’ warehouse then delivered to charities once or
twice yearly, as agreed.
Craft items you can donate include yarn, fabric, paper, lace, braid,
craft tools, glue, embellishments.
Items that won’t be accepted include: money, unfinished projects,
knitting needles, crochet hooks or pattern books.
