Slightly Foxed

The Quilters Guild Contemporary Group are putting together another suitcase collection with the theme of 'All in a day's work' and I have just submitted my entry.

The collection will be made up of 60 small A3 sized quilts which are available for groups to hire.

My entry is 'Slightly Foxed' which celebrates my 28 years as a bookseller where I have been immersed in a world of books and writers and just some of my favourite authors are listed. But some of my most treasured books are those old, musty and 'slightly foxed' books with the copper coloured discolouration on the page. I just happened to have some rust dyed fabric in my stash which was then stamped and stitched to make the piece.
