CQ Iceni - Symbol

 

This is the Moon Crowns design found on a coin in Norfolk and believed to be a design from the Iceni tribes.

This elegant shape is the inspiration for my 'Symbol' piece made for the first CQ Iceni Challenge

All members were asked to design and make a small 8" square quilt on the theme 'Symbol'


Mine has a background of Madder dyed natural fabrics - wool, linen, silks, cottons which were embellished and then stitched to an old woolen blanket

The Moon Crowns design is added as a line design by machine cable stitch

We hope to have this series as part of the first CQ Iceni exhibition in 2023
