The Stitches and Craft show



Last week I went to the Melbourne "Stitches and Craft Show. It is described as the "...meeting point and market place for contemporary crafters and designers from around Australia and beyond." I was particularly intrigued by seeing the documentary film by American Faythe Levine, "Handmade Nation, which documents artists, crafters and designers as they reflect the do-it-yourself movement, the new economy and lifestyle based on creativity, determination and networking." Also know as the "indy craft movement." I made this embroidery at the craft bar at the show. The design comes from Jenny Hart's "Sublime Stiching."
