Journal Quilt -Lines

I was so lucky to go to the European Patchwork Exhibition in Alsace in France in 2012.  I did a workshop with Alicia Merritt (UK) and I was inspired to make this journal quilt based on the subject Lines.  It is also in the Pieces of Eight Exhibition which is being held at Expressions Gallery, Upper Hutt New Zealand.  I used some of my hand dyed fabric in this quilt and really enjoyed making it.

Journal Quilt - Bridges

Really happy that the Opening of the Pieces of Eight Exhibition at Expressions Upper Hutt (near Wellington) New Zealand went really well on Tuesday night.  So wished I could have been there.  Have been sent some photos of Opening and it looked great.  There are eight of us in the Exhibiition each with 8 journal quilts based on eight different topics.

This is my Bridges quilt it is based on a photo I took in Paris of a bridge across the Seine.  I have printed keys on the side.

have a good day

Journal Quilt - Leaves

My Journal Quilt Leaves uses my hand dyes and commercial fabric and photos of leaves transferred via TAP to fabric.

Churches Journal Quilt

This is another journal quilt I made that will be in the Upper Hutt Exhibition.  I printed a sketch I made of old St Paul's Church in Wellington onto silk organza and kinda built the quilt around that - I used thermofax screen printing and some hand embroidery.

Summer Journal Quilt

This is the second quilt in the Journal Quilt series which will be shown in the "Pieces of Eight" Exhibition at Upper Hutt.  It was inspired by an online workshop with Deborah Boschert.  It is collaged and I used my hand dyes, stencils and prints, thermofax prints  and hand embroidery and sequins.
