This weekend is the last time you can view the Studio Art Quilt Associates: Oceania Art Textiles exhibition at Gallery 159, 159 Payne Rd, The Gap 11am- 4pm. The exhibition opened on February 14, Valentines Day so we dressed in red & Janet deBoer OAM editor of Textile Fibre Forum magazine & Gallery 159 Director did the honours.

The 12 art quilts are from Oceania [Australia & New Zealand] members of SAQA http://www.saqa.com/ an international organisation for art quilters based in the States. Membership is growing constantly with more than 2,000 members worldwide.
