Textile Taster:  Tea Towel Collage

Last year the vintage tea towel collection of our member, Annamaria was exhibited at The Logan Historical Museum and a collection of Queensland place inspired tea towels was shown at The State Library the year before. These humble kitchen items are becoming something more than an overlooked sign of women’s work.

At this meeting we will experiment with collage inspired by Margie Creek’s small works made with vintage tea towels.

There will be no tutor but leading the activity will be Ann, Kathryn  and Annamaria. 

IMG 2872

We will cut and glue fabrics making a small textile collage. Stitch can be added but this is experimenting with colour, layout, and composition. It will be simply playing, sampling, exploring and experimenting.

Please bring

  1. Tea towels , softer and worn with time or crisp and new. Ragged and with holes so you are happy to cut up. Maybe one with a image you like
  2. Fabric scissors and smaller embroidery scissors
  3. Cereal box cardboard or linen as backing to determine size
  4. Other fabrics that go well as you see in the image some chicken scratch work on gingham, so perhaps check fabric, crochet lace edges
  5. Glue stick or fabric glue
  6. Threads both embroidery and sewing if you wish to add this to your piece
  7. Some ephemera such as rickrack, braid, bias binding.
