Too Late

My friend and I had planned to visit the Box Hill Town Hall Art Space to see the Victorian Quilters' exhibition, One Step Further.  As you may have gathered from the title of this post, it isn't on any longer.  I was minding The Alcove Art Shop today and one of the people who came in told me that it has finished.  Very disappointing!
All was not lost though - there was an exhibition in the foyer.  It was put on by Nadrasca and there was some lovely work.  Nadrasca is a disability service organisation and this exhibition was put on by mostly elderly people. Not all the artists are elderly though.  There was a range of techniques in the show, apparently facilitated by one teacher.

One Step Further

 A friend and I visited the art quilt exhibition, One Step Further, put on by Victorian Quilters Inc.  It is an exhibition at Box Hill Art Space, at the Town Hall.  There was a range of techniques used.  They were of various sizes also.
There were some that we had to look at closely to see how they qualified as quilts but we agreed that they were technically three layers sewn together - we think that is the definition of a quilt.  Some did not have any batting, so they were fine and airy.  Others were more traditional in their composition but they did not necessarily use traditional techniques of have a traditional look.  They were all very interesting and we enjoyed ourselves greatly. The show is on till December 22nd.
