Fiona launched her new book
Knitted Fairies and we celebrated Koala Week
on the same day in the gallery. There was a
display of wattle, gum leaves and toy Aussie animals
in the window, and lots of fairies inside.
Here are some quilts made by Uralla quilters.
They were exhibited at the gallery in September
2011.

The Giants
The Giants were in the gallery garden on Saturday 27th
October 2012, making work for the industrious Little folk.
Fortunately all was resolved happily just in time for the
arrival of a Very Important Inspector. After music, dancing
and feasting everyone went into the gallery to see the
picture books written and illustrated by school children for
a special competition based on workshops given earlier by
Fiona and Helen. The young writers and illustrators had
produced some splendid stories and illustrations.
congratulations to the prize winners and all those who
participated.
Also in the gallery was a display of beautiful
quilts made by people from Armidale and Uralla and a
new selection of work by David Evans. Most of
those pictures were done in England in 1969, but
have only recently been framed.
Quilts 27th October, 2012
Scenes drawn by David Evans while in England in

Program for 2013
From January 2013, Fiona McDonald will run
the gallery and plans to also run workshops on doll
making, art, music and writing for children and
adults. The work of all artists that has been
showing, will continue.
