Australia Quilts – exceptional quilts from the great southern land

Australia QuiltsIn September 2014, Carrefour Européen du Patchwork/European Patchwork Meeting celebrated its 20th anniversary in Alsace, France. Australia is guest country of honour from outside Europe and I curated a special invitational exhibit of 34 “exceptional quilts from the great Southern land” ranging from traditional quilts to contemporary textile art.

View:

  • Australia Quilts online gallery; and
  • installation photos.

I acknowledge that I live and create on the land of the Darkinjung and Guringai people and recognise their continuing connection to this place. I pay my respects to Elders past, present and emerging and extend that respect to all First Nations people.
