Rubbings to apron

By Cara - August 26, 2016

Hi ladies I now have a unique bright apron, featuring the rubbings piece that I created at the Sue Dennis workshop. The plain white fabric went from this ... Rubbings on white cotton fabric To this - painted and further marked .... Painted and added marks To this! Happy apron I did try some free motion stitching on one section but did not continue as I thought it detracted from the rubbings design. I'm really happy with the end result - a lovely and bright apron with deep pockets! What have you done with your workshop pieces? Happy making!

2025 in review: January

By Textile Creatives GC - October 22, 2025

The new year kicked off in fine form with Pat giving an inspiring presentation on eco-dyeing. Following up with a fun activity doing rust and turmeric dyeing on fabric and paper. These treasures have made a number of appearances throughout the year as thy have been incorporated into journals, collage and various stitching projects. This was followed up by Show 'n' tell where our creatives brought out a truly impressive array of pieces showcasing a diverse range of technique and creativity. There was quilting, doll making, collage, storytelling, calligraphy and a beautiful collection of textile art journals.
