I have just been notified that I have been selected to deliver a workshop at the Festival of Quilts in August this year. It will be a project based workshop called ALPHABETICA which involves a little inkjet printing text onto fabric and over printing with blocks and stamps – more on this at a later date, but it got me thinking. I really should get my act together and submit another quilt for consideration to be exhibited at this years event. So I have been putting my money where my mouth is. I plan to create a quilt with inkjet printed image(s) and superimposed decorative techniques. Don’t hold me to this as yet, but the first of my experiments is shown above.
I love messing about with size and scale in an unexpected way, and if everything goes to plan (so when did ever happen?!?) the effect will be different depending upon where the viewer stands. I don’t consider myself a quilter in that I don’t spend hours trying to make the perfectly constructed quilt, but my get out clause is that the only specified criteria for this exercise is that a quilt must consist of a minimum of two layers of fabric which have been pierced through the layers to complete the construction.
