FIONA McKENZIE

While working as a public health nutritionist with the Queensland Country Women’s Association, promoting fruit and vegetable consumption, I wanted to encourage the women who preferred craft over cooking to promote healthy messages. Targeting our younger generation I created Crafty Foodies. A felt book, embroidered with felt and cotton applique suitable for young children to appreciate the life-cycle of fruit and vegetables. Each book uniquely created for a “grandchild” with true to life imagery of the fruit or vegetable in three growing phases.
