Walk in the Woods, April 5, 2013
2013
31 x 45"/80 x 114cm
cotton fabric backing, tissue paper, fabric glue, textile paint, sheer organza, forest materials. Painted, free-motion machine quilted, heat distressed, hung from branch with rope
Inspired by forest materials collected during a walk in misty Oxfordshire woods. A backdrop of trees was painted on handmade paper “fabric”, machine quilted, then layered with organza stitched in squares. Feathers, wood, pine cones, etc. all collected on one walk were inserted in the squares. Organza was heat distressed with a heat gun and a soldering iron to expose the inclusions and parts of the backdrop. Edges were heat soldered.

Mountains & Meadows
2014
18 x 25” / 46 x 64cm
cotton fabrics, hand-dyed and monoprinted, collage, tissue paper, fabric glue, textile paint, sheer organza, forest materials. Monoprinted and hand-dyed fabrics, hand collaged, hand quilted, embellished with beads, free-motion machine quilted.
I took a workshop with Jae Maries and learned how to dye and monoprint fabric. One of my monoprints resembled mountains and a meadow. I ripped the fabrics into sections and assembled them on wadding and a back, then hand quilted and beaded the fabrics together before machine quilting the background. It is stretched over foam board.

Where There's Smoke............
2015
80 x 45cm/31 x 18 inches
cotton fabrics (monoprinted, hand-dyed and commercial), cheesecloth, crazy curve patchwork,
cotton wadding, machine-quilted, embellished with beads
The piece was inspired by a fabric that reminds me of fire, monoprinted in a workshop I took with Jae Maries. I had some other fiery and smokey looking fabrics, so decided to feature those as well. The pieces are stitched together with a technique called crazy curve patchwork, with inserts of dyed orange and yellow fabrics in the seams (to look like flames). Fiery shapes (copied from real fires) are machine quilted. The work is embellished with beads and crystals.
