At last, the final piece in my “Bamboo” series. After six excursions into the “bamboo” theme,
I’m ready for a change. This final piece
is simpler than the previous three pieces but I have tried to incorporate some
of the design techniques that I explored in my previous pieces. I wanted to convey a feeling of playfulness
and happiness with this piece so I chose commercially printed fabrics and bright
colors to convey that feeling. The piece
is machine pieced, machine appliquéd and machine quilted. I discovered many valuable things about color and design while doing the bamboo series and I'm looking forward to the 2014 series of quilts from all of us.
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.
