A little festive post before I hibernate a little over the Christmas period. These images are from my recent workshop at the Crafts Council for their Christmas 'craftanoon'.
I told the story of Odette's patchwork that I responded to for the Hothouse exhibition - the found papers inside the patchwork and the tale they told of the maker. I invited the Crafts Council to leave their own message inside their patchwork decoration. There were thoughts left from the day and memories of learning patchwork at school and Auntie making a patchwork from old clothes to make a quilt for to keep cosy at University.
The textile tokens are hanging in the Crafts Council Library for the festive period and the workshop has inspired some to begin their own patchwork quilt projects.
A lovely end to the year....
Warm wishes and Merry Christmas to all.

Hello - yes I remember meeting you at vintage - I am happy to hear you have become an addict! - It seems to happen easily with patchwork. Please send me some pictures of your finished quilt - I am slowly updating my website and want to have a section for the images and stories of patchworks made after my workshops. I love to see what people have made, it's inspiring!
ReplyDeleteKeep in touch and Happy New Year!
Of course! I plan on finishing it this weekend so will email some to you soon. Have a good weekend.
