It began with a request….
Many creative hours later….
A truly magnificient one-off textile art piece.
Bernina Australia’s Managing Director, Greg Alexander, was after a ‘Joker’ inspired waistcoat for this year’s Gala Dinner at AQC (Australasian Quilt Convention) which Bernina Australia sponsored. He always knew who he wanted to do the work. The call went out and was accepted by Ken. To say Greg was overwhelmed by Ken Smith’s masterpiece is an understatement.

Now you can see why!
