Report with no shop names!


There was one very nice gift-cum-sewing shop with a lot of things from the US, UK etc., including lots of quilting books and cloth dolls of the "country" type but sadly (being a mad dollmaker in my "other life") I didn't find any dolls made on Norfolk .

 

I found some Liberty fabric in another shop, the fine kind, but not much to choose from and it was $22.50 a metre, so I left it there. On reflection I think there was some plain Liberty too but I can't remember how much that.

Lenore does have a nice - but small - selection. To be fair, some of her fabrics are available elsewhere, as she too gets some fabrics from Sham at Books and Things. But she also has some screen printed stuff from Bathurst Island - which is glorious - and some other NT stuff that I hadn't seen. She had some other fabrics - the moss green with mustard overprint - which were NSW, and glorious... She only had a small selection of desert fabrics from Alice Springs, but more was coming

This is an enterprise workshop for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people - some very interesting fabric gets produced.

They have an outlet for fabric made by the Aboriginal design students. I talked them into selling me some scraps from their bin, and was delighted with the fabric I was able to get. Very unique and exciting.
