Maree Caplin
Having a background in garment design and construction has enabled me to be a very versatile artist.
Unintentionally I have specialized in portraying nature scenes with an emphasis on foliage, fur, feathers and
fins! This is a reflection of my love for all things wild and natural. I use free motion techniques such as thread
painting, collage appliqué, and photographic fabric in my work. All embroidery is done free motion (hand
guided) on a machine. I share my studio with a menagerie of dogs and cats who lovingly accept my mental
lapses when I have journeyed to that inner creative place where I work out how to recreate that animal,
plant or place, with fabric or thread.

Wendy Whellum
I have been a crafts-person since the age of 5. About 25 years ago I discovered patchwork and quilting, and
that has been my main creative outlet since. My main interest is in handmade quilts, and the reproduction of
vintage or antique styles, with a little uplift in colour and arrangement. My quilts have featured in Australian
quilting magazines, scoring front cover on a number of occasions, and have been awarded prizes at quilt
shows. I have been teaching for the past 10 years at local quilt shops around Australia, quilting retreats,
and quilters Guilds. My focus is on hand applique, using back-basting whereby no templates are used, no
freezer paper, and no glue and teaching hand piecing, using templates, and “no knot” start and finish, and
continuous piecing.
