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.

Birches
Here are my latest trees. I used a multi layered background fabric and paintstiks for the trees. And yes, I admit I should have ironed my piece before I took the picture :-)
Your trees look like silver birches, Wil,in the winter. Did you use a mask so you could use the paintsticks? I find them quite messy. Your quilt gives a cold,frosty look and I bet the trees shine in real life. Yes, a good iron makes a difference always.Have a good weekend, the French are on holiday today! Elaine.
I traced the main lines of a picture I found on Google and enlarged it to the size I wanted. Copied this on freezer paper and ironed this on top of the background. Yes, it is a messy technique, but I am okay with that :-)
