Getting to the show...
Welcome to our FIRST Stitches & Craft Show!Many of you reading this will be familiar with our November Craft & Quilt Fair and, in response to many requests to visit Adelaide a second time each year, we are thrilled to bring this new event to the calendar – The Stitches & Craft Show to be held in May. We hope that you’ll come along and enjoy the sewing, embroidery, crochet, papercraft and jewellery features and workshops that we have planned.
At the show, look out for the chalkboard on each stand where exhibitors can write their show specials or new products, and there’s also a colour-coded flag which represents their product category – patchwork, papercraft, etc.
There are some interesting new twists on traditional crafts at the show. If you haven’t tried quilling – using rolled paper strips to create three-dimensional designs, then I think you’ll be inspired to do so after you see the work of guest artist Christine Donehue.
Weaving is back – simple woven wall hangings make a great decorative feature in your home and it’s such a soothing pastime. Visit the Spinners and Weavers guild stand to see what they’re up to.
Get hooked on crochet or knitting – it’s a perfect craft for the coming cooler months. And get great ideas for textile art on everything from jewellery to art quilts. Also visit the new Bite Size Papercraft Techniques area for clever ideas to use in your cards and scrapbooking.
Did you enjoy colouring-in as a child? The good news is that colouring-in for grown-ups is a huge trend in Europe and, as well as being fun, it’s relaxing and stress-reducing. What’s this about? Think gorgeous detailed images printed in simple line drawings ready for you to colour with pencils or felt pens. Instead of picking up a glass of wine at the end of the day, pick up a pencil! This trend is so big in France at present that colouring books are outselling cookbooks – come and check it out at the show.
Japanese crafts are always fascinating – take a look at the art of sashiko and see some beautiful shibori as well. Plus there are woodturning demonstrations on every day and some great jewellery to make – it all seems to be covered at this show.
Don’t miss the handmade knitwear parades plus hands-on classes in all things from decorating lanterns and shoes to jewellery making, sewing, making bags, shibori, quilling and cardmaking. Come and kick start your creative year!

The artwork is from her best-selling book, Secret Garden, An Inky Treasure Hunt and Colouring Book, which features stunning illustrations of flowers, insects, birds and small animals.

Discover Japanese Shibori!
Join the latest trend!
See Johanna’s artwork at the show in all its glory – and you can have a turn at colouring it in!
Johanna says; ‘I hand draw all my images, preferring pens and pencils to pixels. I delight in smudgy finger prints, wobbly hand penned lines and the odd ink blot, these little imperfections are what give drawings character, soul and that true sense of organic.’
Presented by Johanna Basford and Expertise Events.

¼ cup white wine vinegar
1 bay leaf
½ tsp black peppercorns
1 eschalot, finely chopped
3 egg yolks
125g butter, melted, cooled
1 tsp chopped tarragon leaves
1 Preheat barbecue with lid to
hot, 200C. Weigh beef and
calculate cooking time (allow
15-20 minutes per 500g).
2 Rub oil over beef, sprinkle
with salt flakes and freshly
ground black pepper. Spread
with horseradish and top evenly
with oregano sprigs before
wrapping with prosciutto slices.
3 Place beef on a roasting rack
in an oven dish. Barbecue for

thickened. Serve as

instead of béarnaise.

Cold as iceIn summer, I keep half-fi lled water bottles in the freezer, laying them on their side. When I need to go out, I fi ll the
rest of the bottle up with tap water. This way I have ice cold water ready to go!Hannah Pavlovski, Westborne Park, SA.Herbs on handA handy way to preserve herbs
is to freeze them in olive oil and store them in an ice cube tray. When you need some herbs, just pop out a few cubes. Lisa Waldie, Tea Tree Gully, SA.
Weed freeLay newspaper underneath your garden mulch to stop weeds from growing.Anja Breckenridge, Toowoomba, Qld.

Keeping upMy friend and I are both lawyers and live in the city. Despite working full-time, we struggle to
keep up with our friends. They go out to trendy bars all the time and we tag along but we can only afford waters. Please shout us a pina colada. We are parched and trapped in a financial desert! Kim Fisher, Stanmore, NSW.MURIEL SAYS: What poppycock. Stop wasting my time when there are people who deserve my help. Treat for MumI’m 15 and care for my mum, who
has Parkinson’s, and my two little sisters. Dad left us four years ago so we have no-one to support us. It’s Mum’s birthday in February, and I‘d love to buy her an iPod so she can listen to her favourite music, but there is no money. Lauren Hartley, Dalby, Qld.MURIEL SAYS: I will send you enough for the music player and
a little extra so you can treat yourself, too. I never had a daughter, but if I had, I would have loved her to be like you.Last wishI was diagnosed with colon cancer last year and they got it late. I’ve decided to not have treatment as I’d like a few months
of quality living with my husband and son. After I’m gone, I’d love them to have a weekend away.Kat Jones, Klemzig, SA.MURIEL SAYS: I’m so sorry to hear
that. Your family is going to have a very sad year. Of course I’ll help.
