The WRAP display was well received and generated lots of discussion - not that its hard to chat when you are as wedded to a topic as we are. Included in the display was a touchy feely and a book inviting comments and stories. Sadly, very few wrote in the book. However, as I said - if there was someone at the display lots of talk was had and stories told.
I asked my teenage daughter to write something and this is what she said (though she was using my voice) :
"Audiences enjoyed a wide range of textile artwork from various groups at the recent exhibition held at the Southee Complex (Olympic Park) for the Embroiderer's Guild's 50th Anniversary. One of those groups happened to be the Wrap group which is exploring the history and techniques of waggas (old aussie scrap quilts).
The range of quirky and unique techniques of each piece intrigued many visitors. Some of the techniques from these beautiful works ranged from embroidery on wool, buttons and zippers sewn on scrap and old babies clothes stitched into a piece.
All and all it was a successful exhibition and a great place to show off our pieces."
I am glad she though it was successful ... her comments are few and I am sure she thinks her Mum's got rocks in head but is too polite to say .
The display also included some play pieces we had worked in anticipation of the exhibitions "Baby wagga "on the left is a taste. Click here to see more.
