Textile Tuesday @The Art Room Dereham

Textile Tuesday @The Art Room Dereham

Textile Classes have been going really well especially with the changes in venue since the beginning of the year. The Art Room Dereham has proved itself to be an ideal venue for art and textiles. City and Guilds continue and you can see in the photograph above there are some exciting artwork and samples being made. If any one is wanting to do a Creative Textile Class or City and Guilds and live in Norfolk please contact me.

To see more inspiration and of what is being created by myself and students visit my daily blog HERE

Textile Thursdays will be in The Cancer Care Centre from March and it is a lovely venue in the centre of Dereham, on Georges Road. Sessions are as normal 10am until 12.15 and 12.30 until 2.45. Look forward to sharing with you shortly.

 

Stained Glass Patchwork

Tuesdays @The Gallery Dereham are always busy and I get to tutor students

through many different mixed media techniques.

Carol is making a Stained Glass Patchwork Wall Hanging,

( a form of applique method of patchwork).

I designed the pattern from a photograph Carol gave me of a

picture of a stained glass window.

As you can see she has produced it really well!

She chose to use mainly dyed fabrics to give the effect of the

original blown glass.

I just love it.

The borders are due to go on and the quilting.

Well done Carol!

Star Quilt

Star Quilt

On Saturday because the weather was fine I was able to take my king size Star Quilt outside and photograph it.

I dyed the star fabric and over dyed the corner batik fabric. it is all cut with the rotary cutter and made  in strips.

I always use the rotary cutter now for accuracy when it comes to make blocks and accurate piecing. It is machine pieced and quilted.

This is one of my favourite quilts. Do you have a favourite?

Today I finished the quillo for the pattern instructions for download which will be available soon.

I am also teaching a quillo course in the Autumn, so will be using this quillo as a demo.

I love the colours of this ‘quilt that folds into a cushion’.

That is why it is called a ‘Quillo’.

I have used my own dyed fabrics and purchased materials.
