See the stunning work from Sophie Wood at the Auckland ‘Stitches’
New Zealand Artist Sophie Wood will be heading to the Auckland Stitches
and Craft Show in April 2016. She’ll be bringing with her some award
winning international works that have inspired quilters around the world.

A Matter of Time
See page 4
Sophie has always been an
extremely hands on and creative
person. Sophie’s interests were
primarily in art, design and
illustration, it wasn’t until her late 20s
that she became familiar with art
quilting and textile art.
After completing her first quilting
project in 2010, Sophie was inspired
to attend the Quilt Fair in New
Zealand. It was here she began to
appreciate art quilting and she’s
been inspiring others with stunning
projects ever since.
Sophie started to exhibit her work
around Australia in 2012 and not long
after she found herself exhibiting
work overseas. Her first international
quilt was shown at the Houston
International Quilt Festival in 2015.

It is about 50 years since the term
‘Flower Power’ was first coined to
describe a non-violent protest against
the Vietnam War, and to celebrate,
fibre aficionados from around the
world have created brightly coloured
motifs and scrumbles with a flower
power theme.
Vintage style guru Miss Chrissy Keepence
AND Sew So Easy. See page 3!
The flower power movement of passive resistance rapidly
spread from its beginnings in Berkeley, California, and
eventually the term ‘flower child’ became synonymous with
‘hippie’ and a counterculture embracing psychedelic
music and art sprang up.
Prudence Mapstone has created a unique and
spectacular collaborative artwork by combining
the hundreds of knitted and
crocheted motifs received from
around the world.

You probably know our shows already - for many years we have run a craft
event in Hamilton and we have loads of Kiwi visitors to our events in Australia,
so we are delighted to be bringing The Stitches & Craft Show to Auckland on
April 28 to 30.
See
At the show you’ll find all the latest specialist craft supplies from around Australia and New Zealand all under
one roof – and plenty of unique items you won’t usually find in your local neighbourhood. Many of our retailers
design their own ranges or travel the world to bring hot new products to our shows.
But, the show is not just a great shopping opportunity – you’ll see touring exhibitions that we’ve brought in
specially for you, as well as guest artist displays and there’s a full program of workshops where you’ll be able
to learn from some expert tutors.
There’ll be some amazing textile art and quilts on display, a pop-up vintage salon with makeovers, plus a daily
handmade fashion and homewares presentation on the stage.
Don’t miss the installation of crochet art – a 10metre-long collaborative piece made up of freeform designs
by 207 contributors from 24 countries. This spectacular piece is the concept of freeform knit-crochet guru
Prudence Mapstone and is a tribute to 50 years of Flower Power.
Also on the must-see list is the new exhibition organised and curated by Brenda Gael Smith, themed A Matter
of Time, comprising 32 amazing works by quilters from Australia, Canada, New Zealand, the UK and the US.
Plus we welcome Sophie Wood from Christchurch with a show of her edgy art quilts.

Textile Art Explores Fourth Dimension
This embroidery is a Treat
And The Wheels Go Round (detail) by Sue Reid
An exhibition of quilts that explores the fourth dimension
A Matter of Time, exploring the fourth dimension, is an exhibition of 32 new works,
curated by Brenda Gael Smith. The exhibition will include works by some of the world’s
foremost quilters from New Zealand, Australia, Canada, the UK and the USA.
The high standard of previous exhibitions curated by Brenda Gael Smith; recently Beneath the
Southern Sky and Living Colour!, makes this a highly anticipated show.
DAILY: Join A Matter of Time entrant Annie White for a floor talk exploring the fourth
dimension in cloth at 12.30pm, at the display.
Starting from its exhibition life at Pour l’Amour du Fil in
Nantes, France, Australia and now in New Zealand, this
embroidery and textile art project is rich in history and
colour.
This art project has been initiated by renowned Australian
textile designer Dijanne Cevaal with contributions from textile
artists around Australia. With contributions in linocut, hand
dyeing, stitching, layering, quilting and embellishing, this
textile display will stand the test of time.
Inspired by a medieval period in France known for its rich
tapestries and embroideries, The Medieval Project radiates
colour and inspiration from this important part of history.
See it at the show!
Seasonal Yellow: Julie Haddrick
The Eternity Spiral: Neroli Henderson
Wabi sabi is the Japanese art of finding
beauty in imperfection and profundity in nature
and the acceptance of life’s natural cycle of
growth, decay and death, and this philosophy
has continued to stimulate Haddrick in her
creative practice. Inspiring a pared-down
‘essence’; a minimalism embracing the
‘bloom of time’, Haddrick combined botanical
illustration with fabric and stitch. She breeds
and at times hand-rears yellow canaries; this
love and close observation of her canaries
fuelling the ‘TIME’ challenge. ‘Seasonal
Yellow’ embraces and reveres her aviaries’
bloom of time.
We are all held mercilessly by the hands of
time; our bodies dissolve or perhaps evolve
depending on your point of view. Our souls
float to the fourth dimension.

A human Möbius strip — no end and no
beginning — shows our unravelling, our
aging, and I’ve made it deliberately metallic to
show our impervious nature as we fight back,
doing all we can to delay the inevitable.
