Photography for stitched and bound
A common weakness in photographs submitted for stitched and bound 2017 was lack of sharpness, in other words blur. The photo below of ‘this discovering 5’ by Ruth de Vos for stitched and bound 2017, photo by the artist, does not suffer this limitation. You might find the article Suggestions for Photography useful, if you, like Ruth, choose to take your own photos for stitched and bound 2019. HELP is also at hand – before submitting your entry, to find out if your photographs fit the Conditions of Entry, email them to pat.forster@iinet.net.au or megcowey@me.com

s and b official opening today
It was great to see a large gathering of quilt/textile people at Zig Zag Gallery this afternoon, including almost all ‘stitched and bound 2017’ exhibitors. ‘Quilts’ from the rafters, ‘quilts’ on the walls, and ‘quilts’ on plinths–all in the name of the game we call art quilts. Thank you to everyone who came and helped make a joyful occasion. Photos will follow if the committee are sent some!!
Promotion photo chosen
An image of Hilary Arber’s stitched and bound entry, “Beach Drift’, has been chosen for the exhibition invitation, flyer and catalogue. The quilt features:
Hand dyed fabric, muslin, silk cocoon waste, commercial braid fused and stitched onto cotton wadding. Machine bobbin work, hand embroidery, couching, machine quilting.
The inspiration was:
Tides come and go, leaving touches of colour, telling an ocean’s adventure stories amongst washed weed and waste.
You will have to wait for the exhibition in order to see the full quilt!
Marvellous response
THANKYOU everyone who entered stitched and bound 2017. The result is a diverse range of artworks in the quilt medium. The exhibition at Zig Zag Gallery will be a stunner.
