Southern Highlands Textile and Fibre Network Exhibition was held at the Kiama Fire Station on 2-3 July 2005 and the Southern Highland members used an overwhelming variety of textiles and mediums to create a most interesting exhibition.

Their techniques ranged from Handspun knitted and woven, felting, to quilting and machine embroidery and silk painting. Their take charge use of a wide variety of novelty yarns showed off the wonderful possibilities of textures and fibre in their creations.

There were practical garments and articles, wearable art, beautiful silk painted and machine embroidered pictures and felted sculptures, toys, furnishings, handbags and garments with a beautiful Shibori pleated and dyed coat and handbags.

Well worth a look. Intriguing!
