Julie Pongrac, Vancouver, BC Master Knitter, Designer My life has never been without fibre. Knitting and sewing were life skills as important to thrift as managing a budget. An essential part of this notion of thrift was the use of quality fabrics and fibres to produce garments that would last the passage from one sibling to another. [from artist bio]

Year after year while speaking with the artisans regardless of how they are categories if they work with textiles i ask about process not price. I am interest how they achieve the surface from which they make their end "product". Construction methods such as weaving felting and knitting seem obvious enough but what I now think of as assembled covers pieced quilts, re- purposing all ready constructed clothing aka recycling, layered, applique, embroidered, beading, fusing, its a long list and doesn't included painting, dying or printing.

| Nancy Yule, Journal Covers, assembled textile quilted, |
Nancy Yule [booth D-12] is a example of this type of work ( see Jewellery box at top of post and journal covers above so would Janna Roizenman (Edenwool) Booth: G-49 with fused felted super fine merino wool, alpaca on pure silk yardage. Chatherine Timms Quilter [Booth M-49] is back with her pieced work as is Hilary Cosgrove
[Booth: M-05] with another parliament of Owls and flock of birds made of men's wool suiting and bedding.
Susan Harris of Susan Harris Design [Booth: K-20] has been taking clothes apart and making new ones. Wendy Van Riesen of Dahlia Drive [Booth: K-29] ".resurrecting the fashion wasteland Dahlia Drive salvages discarded slips, men's shirts, fabric and resurrects each piece with colour, images and embellishment to create one of a kind wearable art for the unique individual" both of these designers embellish their garments with prints
Since I am looking at fashion and printing you will see a number of printed T-shirts in some case that is the main part of the business in others it is the starter pieces that lead into a range of printed fashion, accessories and decor items. Jennifer Neill & Valerie Neill of Judy Black [Booth: G-45] always has bright sharp multicoloured images of "pop" iconography. H er "Acid Sunset "is a classic "Northern Landscape" she has used it on t-shirt and pillow. Like the textiles designed by Thorn Hansen that were produced to support an idealized "Canadian Identity".hers celebrate a Rock and Roll attitude.
