The Stitchery of Catherine Hill, a Lancashire Lass
At the recent ICHF Stitches trade show at the NEC, I had a chat with Janet Clare about our shared love of textiles, her creative journey, publishing books and working with Moda Fabrics.
Lots more on YouTube, including Caren Garfen, Dionne Swift, Dawn Hemming, and Jean LittleJohn. You also might like a walk around Festival of Quilts 2018.
Over the summer The Museum of Domestic Art and Arcitecture (MODA) in London, offered a rare opportunity for the public to view their exclusive collections… which include the work of the design house Silver Studios (1880-1963), Crown wallpapers’ archive, vintage textiles and selections of vintage magazines and journals. The MODA collection includes lots of other goodies, but I was particularly taken with the vintage hand cut, Japanese Katagami mulberry paper stencils used in making indigo dyed fabric for kimonos.
Here is a flavour of the day.
