Voyage – A group of textiles artists drawn together from around the world who vary in both their experience and in the nature of expression of their art. Their work broadly encompasses the understanding of a quilt in its loosest form. We exist as a virtual group on the internet, posting our work on the blog and communicating via a group site to enable us to share our work and exhibit.
2017
We move forward from two successful exhibitions in 2016 in Prague and in the USA to the challenge of an exhibition in the Netherlands in the Autumn. We continue to work on A2 sized pieces in portrait format and will be producing four pieces over the year with the theme of 'Freedom'. An essential part of our art is working in series to a common format which does give us all a framework for our creative endeavours.

Gillian's Quilt
It was a beautiful day and I went out from our home and took some photos of around where I live
I did a load of drawings
Next the applique. Ripponden the village where I live used to have 19 mills in it, I live in one of the few remaining old mills in the village. They specialised in dying navy blue wool for Naval uniforms. I decided I would try to work in a woollen fabric, as I usually work in cottons or felt. So I dyed a range of different woollen fabrics that i had - the one that worked best was a piece of wool that I had bought from a charity shop - only a small piece so i dyed that blue, green and red. There was only a small piece.
