A Creative Exploration
The world of quilting is much more than needle and thread—it is an ever-evolving tapestry of colour, texture, and personal expression. For Celeste Campion, this journey has unfolded across years of exploration, experimentation, and a passionate pursuit of beauty through fabric and design. In her much-anticipated trunk show, “My Quilt Colour Journey,” Celeste invites us to travel alongside her as she traces the winding path that has defined her creative life. Learn a bit about the Meerkat Shweshwe fabrics she imports from South Africa and the inspiration these fabrics bring to her creations.

A Vibrant Patchwork of Inspiration, Discovery, and Artistic Growth

In this power point lecture Gunnel will show you how you can print on fabric using “found objects” from A (for Apple) to Z (for Zipper). While screen printing was her first and enduring love, she also loves using ordinary objects to create patterns. So far she must have a collection of 30+ different potato mashers, which she uses to create an infinite variety of patterns and textures. The sole of a pair of winter boots, a golf ball, hair curlers, irons, credit cards – and of course potato mashers – no textured thing is safe from experimenting!. Enjoy the experience and learn how these everyday objects can become the basis for colourful fabrics to use in your quilts!
