Just back from my third visit to the Rocky Retreat in Rockhampton Queensland.
Always a fun retreat and I have so many friends there it is wonderful. As usual they made me feel welcome from the start.
We did my favourite workshop - Textured Treasures and the fabrics that were created from just white poplin were incredible. We played with Fabric Painting, Stamping (including carving their own stamps), rubbing, foiling, beading, stencils, paintsticks, sun printing, salt effects and other techniques. It was such a beautiful weather that we moved our tables outside for all the messy stuff.
Then they started stitching them together to create an absolutely original art quilt. Here are some of them.
Sue thought she was really out of her comfort zone but her work was wonderful
Joyce used a resist technique with glue to create her words
These are Maureen's cushion tops
Alexis added some gorgeous foils to her top which really made it sparkle.
Margaret's water inspired fabrics looks so gorgeous as they get stitched together
I love the blue and green swirls in Lyn's fabric
I can't wait till they send me pictures of their quilted masterpieces.
