Bluebells and Cherry Blossoms Art Quilt

This quilt is based on my original landscape photograph from East Sussex. It is made out of hundreds of tiny fabric cutouts, stitched and free-motion embroidered.

 Foreground blossoms and leaves have been individually painted on silk and hand-stitched in place. 

The quilt is framed in a plain white painted wooden frame.

My Victorian Gothic

This is another quilt inspired by the magnificent Victorian Gothic architecture of Oxford

Machine trapunto with embroidery thread and silk thread on cotton satin

White cotton satin backing

The central medallion design is almost identical to the one of the flamboyant rose window of the Wesley Memorial Church in Oxford. I tried to capture its ornate tracery using trapunto elements against some dense free-motion quilting

Quilt size 60cm x 60cm

Autumn Colours

Autumn is the time of year when I feel like creating something bold and colourful. This year again I just could not resist using these glorious autumn colours for my quilt! 

I painted my central panel with silk paints on fine white cotton, embroidered it using viscose threads, and quilted it. 

A beautiful landscape photograph was an inspiration for this quilt. I enjoyed using layers of embroidery thread over the painted background to achieve a sense of perspective and a light & shadow play.
