Down Under Textiles has touched down


The very first shipment has arrived on Australian docks (we print offshore). God (and wharfies) willing it will be delivered to us within a week. Then all those textile lovers who have ordered a copy will get theirs within a few days more. Only a handful of businesses have, at this stage, ordered copies. I will post a list on Monday - so you can track it down.
The magazine will not be sold through newsagents, so put pressure on your local specialist retailer to contact us and order some copies.
This is a great technique shared by Erica Spinks ...
And a great tutorial from Dijanne Cevaal on how to make linocut prints ...
Sue Dennis shows us her great techniques using oil sticks from Shiva PaintStiks.


Dijanne Cevaal also shows us one of the many techniques on how to use Lutradur ...



And Samantha Pope shares step by step instructions on stitching a lacy delicate scarf, using Solvy as the base ...



We invited talented tutors from around the world to comment on their opinion on COLOUR ...

Plus, see some great journals to inspire you ... some of the best textile artists use journals to record their design sources and inspirations ... you can too ...



This is one of the fantastic artworks that Felicity Clarke shares with you ...

And much, much more... out soon.


I love it, I hope you do too! xxdls

  1. why the decision not to distribute through the same newsagents that carry DUQ? I personally would like to take a better look inside before purchasing

  5. Maybe a list of local stores around the country that are stocking the new magazine would be helpful to some of us please. Am keen to see this new magazine.

  7. I've got my copy in my hot little hand and I love it! Please don't make me wait too long for the next one! Bi-monthly would be good - the off months of Down Under Quilts!

    Hugz and thanks for the great read!
