A Textile
Art Mini Challenge.
We invite you to show your
best friend in their best light, in a textile art and mini challenge.
This pet portrait could include
those with paws and whiskers, or other features such as fins and feathers, but
the animal feature must be a pet, not a wild animal or zoo animal.
Traditional and contemporary
works using creative textile techniques, including patchwork, embroidery,
applique, surface design, photo transfer, printing etc. will be considered.
Finalists will be displayed at
AQC and Craft & Quilt Fairs across the year.
The winner will receive a
fabulous Fiskars prize pack worth more than $200.
The work must have at least 2
layers and the size is 25cm square.

If you have completed a
kaleidoscope and would like to be part of the
AQC Quilt Show, send information and an image of your quilt for
consideration. This is a non-judged exhibition. Our aim is to
create a spectacular display of millefiore colour. Your quilt can be any
size and does not need to be an original design.
Online submissions close
February 25, 2016.
Your quilt does not need to be
finished for online entry, but if selected for display it must be completed and sent
to Expertise Events before March 25, 2016.
