The annual Craft & Quilt Fair is back in Melbourne for 2013. A one stop destination for craft and quilting enthusiasts offering craft supplies, displays and inspiring exhibitions, workshops, guest artists and live demonstrations!
This year's Craft & Quilt Fair offers guests the chance to shop for all the latest craft supplies, as well as the opportunity to take part in FREE workshops, exclusive Make & Take classes and our NEW Pop Up classes and Master classes.
A highlight of this year's show is QLD guest artist Loani Prior, showcasing her weird and wonderful tea cosie creations. Exhibiting the creations from her multiple best-selling book, -How Tea Cosies Changed the World', Loani has elevated the humble tea cosy from a domestic object to a work of art. If you're dubious that the humble tea cosy can be artistic, this is the exhibition for you! At the show you can also join in on the fun and experience the -Human Knitting Machine'.
For fans of quilting, the fair is not to be missed. The Victorian Quilters Inc celebrates their 20th anniversary of Quilt Showcase with the very special President's Choice display in honour of the guild's presidents from the past 20 years. There will also be the unveiling of the Lions Club of Doutta Galla Inc project charity quilt -Esprit de Corps' and the wonderful quilts from Horsham Quilters, with their modern twist on the craft. Or you can have a peek at the prestigious AQC Challenge, with this year's theme -free'.
The Craft & Quilt Fair will truly inspire presenting new ideas and projects, a chance to learn and interact with industry professionals or the opportunity to shop the latest supplies. So if you want to stitch it, sew it, bead it, scrap it, knit it, try it, quilt it or stamp it – you'll simply love this event!
