Make and Take Time
Is craft alive and well in Brisbane? Absolutely, as I found out when I joined the long queue for the first day of The Stitches and Craft Show. What a fun day, getting tips from so many talented people, trying my hand at making a greeting card using various new techniques with inks and stamps and checking out the stunning creations designed by the Textile and Design students at The Texstyle display. Quilts, beading, sewing, papercraft and the list goes on. I was very lucky to watch a demonstration by Julia Taylor, 2012 Masterchef runner-up and such a delightful person. Her passion for cake decorating and baking was such that I wanted to immediately rush home and get out the piping bag! Workshops, Make & Take Classes, demonstrations – it’s all there at the Brisbane Convention & Exhibition Centre for ideas, inspiration and a great day out.
