weaving with picots. Christine has undertaken the pre-class preparation
for you. Colours: Cream threads are used on your choice of blue, green,

Jan Pilgrim
I have been embroidering since childhood, learning from my mother and grandmother. As a career I chose
teaching, qualifying as a secondary school textiles teacher from Larnook Teachers’ College and Emily
McPherson College in 1968 and I continued to teach textiles for 20 odd years in the Victorian state school
system. Since retirement, I have been teaching casual classes in various embroidery techniques to adults. I
have undertaken many classes to continually enhance my skills and I love to impart this knowledge to others.
I love working in soft muted colours using a combination of ribbon, thread and lace to build a story. I am an
avid bear maker and use my embroidery skills to enhance my bears. I encourage students to put their own
stamp on a project.
I am a fibre and textile artist. My genre is surface stitchery, including stump work, felting, gold and metal thread
work. My designs depict Australian Flora and the Australian Outback. Through teaching I can share my love of the
stitch with students, showing them how to combine fibre and threads with simple stitches to create amazing pieces
of embroidery. I am a member and qualified Tutor of The Embroiderers Guild NSW. I have exhibited in a number of
galleries, held 2 exhibitions in Grafton’s Regional Gallery and at the NSW Embroiderers Guild. I teach locally, around
NSW with the Guild, and at a major embroidery conference in Brisbane. My awards include Champion embroidery
exhibit at the Queensland Agricultural Show (EKKA) 3 years in a row and various other awards at the EKKA and
around the Clarence Valley. www.janpilgrimofjanetsdesigns.com

This is an original design by Melissa. Wrap your little lamb in this cosy,
warm-as-toast merino baby bunting. This bunting is designed so that it
can be sewn at the bottom—so it’s part sleeping sack, part garment.
Want easier bubby access for changes and car capsules? Just don’t sew
up the bottom seam and let those cute lamby legs kick free. The project
requires working on different types of skills, including pickup up stitches,
shaping, and finishing for a truly beautiful gift. Size: Newborn.
SKILL LEVEL: Intermediate. Requires beginner level skills (ability to knit,
purl, cast on and cast off) plus increase, decrease, and follow simple
stitch patterns.

Marguerite is passionate about sewing in addition to bridge and cooking! Her love of sewing was nurtured
in her early years of high school and it has thrived ever since. For nearly twenty years, Marguerite has been
teaching embroidery to children and adults in many techniques, but particularly surface stitchery and her alltime favourite, counted cross stitch. Some stitchers find counted cross stitch difficult, but for Marguerite there’s a
rhythm to the stitching that she especially enjoys, along with the pleasure of seeing the design emerge from the
blank canvas of the linen. It’s something she never tires of. She always has a piece she is working on, along with
other embroidery. Marguerite is also the owner of The Embroidery Den, a very well-known and well stocked
embroidery shop in suburban Melbourne.

Rachel has been creating felt for over 25 years. She enjoys the whole process of feltmaking, selecting fibres,
fabrics, colours and textures and transforming these by the addition of heat, agitation and pressure into
many different felt art forms. Felt is such a wonderful medium; it can be smooth or textural, thick or thin,
manipulated or moulded, wall art or wearable. Rachel was co-editor of Felt magazine for 18 months and
ran a fibre dyeing business for ten years, supplying outlets in Australia, England and the USA. She now sells
through her Etsy online shop called Euci. She enjoys sharing her knowledge by teaching workshops in Art
Galleries, schools, TAFE, forums and to private groups throughout Australia and New Zealand. Her classes are
relaxed and students are guided and encouraged to create individual pieces. www.rachelmeekfelt.com

Based on the appearance of Moroccan wall tiles, the combination of
stitches used in this motif and the method of joining combine together to
create an unusual three dimensional effect, so much more interesting than
a traditional granny square. Learn how to tuck away all the tail ends when
changing colours, and see how easily a small amount of surface stitching
makes the motifs look as neat on the wrong side as the right.
Colours: 100% alpaca fair trade in ‘brights’ or ‘naturals’.
Size: 15cm x 150cm scarf or start a knee rug or blanket.
SKILL LEVEL: Basic crochet skills.

texture. With your second scarf you’ll achieve amazing little islands of felt
in a grid pattern of your choice. A unique scarf which drapes beautifully.
Colours: Cool (purple scarf/variegated blue wool), Warm (deep red scarf –
orange/pink wool), Tonal (black scarf – grey/white wool), Rainbow (black

PM2a Fabulous Freeform
Fabrics
RM2a Mosaic Scarf and Dot Scarf
Many say that some of Prudence’s freeform fabrics remind them of a Gustav
Klimt painting. Knitting easily lends itself to straight-ish pieces whilst
crochet works well for circular motifs; both shapes that Klimt used when
painting his complex fabrics. He generally used squares and rectangles for
the males’ garments and circles for the females’ gowns. In this workshop
you will combine both together and discover how easy it is to artistically
mix a wide range of lightly-textured yarns and toning colours to create
softly blended fabrics. Size: Commence creating anything from a cushion
cover to a small artwork , a wearable-art wrap or jacket.
Two beautiful scarves made in a choice of colours. Students will learn how
to make pre-felt from wool fibre, then cut out shapes and place them onto
tissue silk scarves. Because the wool shrinks, the spaces between the shapes
become ruched and the edges frilled. The texture and ‘shadows’ of colour
on the back of the scarf are as delightful as the wool side! Colours: Autumn
(orange scarf/ variegated pink, orange, mustard wool), Spring (purple scarf/
variegated blue, green wool) and Winter (charcoal scarf/ grey, white, red
wool). Size: Two scarves 38cm x 180cm before felting.

(choice of crochet ammonite or starburst or knitted floral design). Colours:
There will be a wide range of colours from which to choose, and the
metal frame comes in either brass or silver tone. Size: Body of the purse
approx. 16cm x 25cm, although a longer bag could be made.

different patterns a rich textural appearance will be created on both

Prudence is an internationally renowned textile artist and author whose medium is freeform knitting and
crochet. Having knitted for as long as she can remember, but as a response to repetitive strain, she started her
freeform methods over 20 years ago, combining crochet with her knitting to enable her to use a wider range
of hand movements. Prudence has written a number of books on her techniques, has been the featured artist
at craft events in every capital city in Australia, in New Zealand and Denmark. She has taught and lectured
around Australia, and in England, Scotland, Wales, Ireland, Denmark, the USA, Canada, Malaysia, Singapore,
Thailand, New Zealand and Bermuda. Her philosophy for successful freeforming is ‘always work with the
best quality yarns you can afford, and choose your colours carefully’. www.knotjustknitting.com

Robyn Alexander
Robert’s creative needlepoint is full of colour, texture and life. He combines traditional embroidery stitches
with his own original freestyle stitches, then adding paints, beads, metallic threads and other embellishments,
he demonstrates how traditional rules can be broken to great effect. Robert’s work challenges the embroiderer
to be daring, creative and spontaneous in creating the look of lace, fur, flesh, the folds of a gown, a crystal
bowl of fruit, movement, light and shade. Robert’s book, Creative Needlepoint, was published in 1992,
showcasing his work and charting his development as an artist. A retired solicitor, Robert teaches at a range
of venues in Melbourne and his classes are full of friendship, laughter and the joy and freedom of creative
stitching. His only rule is to explore, experiment and finish the work!
Robyn hand dyes silk embroidery threads, ribbons, fabrics, wool and creates embroidery designs in her garden
studio. As an embroiderer of many years, Robyn appreciates the style and flair that unusual threads can add
to your work. Adding to this she has sourced interesting embellishments from her travels around the world.
Her greatest textile passions are colour and texture. Robyn enjoys teaching workshops, passing on her passion
and knowledge while meeting great people. She calls it “the great exchange” as we learn from each other. Her
business, Colour Streams, established in 1995, supplies variegated or overdyed colours of silk embroidery thread
and silk embroidery ribbons, as well as hand dyed velvet, Habatai silk, crinkle silk chiffon, silk organza and pure

I have been a silk painter since 1993 and my business is The Silk Maid. My fascination with textile art
began when seeing the work of artists Mitchoutouskine and Pilioko when living in Port Vila. My designs
are influenced by the bright colours of the tropics and the blues of the South Seas. I produce a range of
handpainted silk pareos, scarves, shawls and fabrics and am developing a range of kaftans and kimonos. My
favourite things come together on this cruise - the South Pacific, silk painting and life at sea. I enjoy tutoring
silk painting workshops - I believe everybody is creative and it’s a joy to see that creativity blossoming.
