Quilters Guild Virtual Retreat 20th and 21st January 2024

 


I am delighted to be taking part in the Quilters' Guild Virtual Retreat on the theme of 'Recycle, Repurpose'

The Retreat is open to all members of the Quilters' Guild with a series of talks, demonstrations and social events over the course of the whole weekend.

My talk/demo is called "From Trash to Treasure" looking at ways of transforming throwaway items such as newspaper, teabags, sweet wrappers into pieces of textile art. Plus ways of using old net curtains and worn out bras to create highly textured surface pieces of 3D work

My' To have and to hold' series made using dress pattern tissue will also feature.

One feature of the demonstration of the paper lamination process I use to convert paper into a stitchable fabric.
