Hello. Well, I survived 4 days at Festival of Quilts.
I had a great time, met lots of lovely people and am really inspired to crack on.
I was particularly excited this year as I'd been selected to represent Region 10 of the Quilters Guild in the 'In the Spotlight' exhibition. The theme was 'No place like home'. I decided to use the postcodes of all the places I'd lived.
Although I was really pleased with my quilt, I was a little nervous about it being exhibited and how it would look next to the others.
I must say I was very impressed with how it was displayed.
Also exhibiting in the same gallery representing Region 14 was my friend Sarah Humphreys. She chose to use house numbers to illustrate the theme of 'No place like home'. Another really great example of a modern quilt and as ever amazing machine quilting.
As well as participating in the 'In the Spotlight' exhibition Sarah Humphreys also managed to make another amazing quilt that she entered into the Modern category and won third prize.
Rachel Care entered her work into the Art Quilt category. The attention to detail was breathtaking in the piece.
Hilary Jackson entered a beautiful quilt into the Modern category. I love the continuation of the design in the negative space.
My photographs really don't do any of the quilts justice as they were taken on my phone. They do show their impact, but not the detail.
I feel very fortunate that these artists are my friends and that they inspire me to push myself further with my work. Thank you xx
