Myself and Marilyn Clark-Murphy are the convenors of the biennial contemporary quilt exhibition stitched and bound which is presented by the West Australian Quilters Association.

This will be the thirteenth stitched and bound exhibition, the first of which took place in 1995. For each exhibition, the works are selected by a panel of 3 independent jurors. This year the jurors were Leanne Bray, Janet Holmes à Court, and Lisa Walton, and 45 works by 38 artists were selected. I was lucky enough to have one of the two pieces I submitted chosen. The exhibition will be showcased at Midland Junction Arts Centre from 10 September before embarking on a tour of 5 regional galleries across Western Australia.

Before and during the exhibition, twelve talented textile artists will undertake residencies at Midland Junction Arts Centre, one of whom is me! My residency is from 23 August – 5 September. Do drop in and see what I am doing/have a chat/look for what I have for sale. Full details of the whole program can be found at Studio Program
