Kaffe Fasset & Candace Bahouth Exhibition – Video Diary

Autumn is fast approaching and that ‘preparing for winter’ feel has kicked in. I’ve been thinking of indoor textile projects to work on in the studio and I’ve been reviewing some of the footage I took over the wonderful Summer we have had.

Everytime I think of it, my first thoughts are of the vibrancy of colour, then I think of texture and reflecting light.

Having caught up on a little I.T. housekeeping, I rediscovered some footage that I’ve put together to share with you.

There are lots more videos to view on Youtube.  Be the first to see my latest textile journeys by Clicking the Link and following me.

Festival of Quilts 2018 – Part 3 – The Winners Quilts

Picture the scene. It’s mid afternoon on day one of The Festival of Quilts. Visitors are gathering and waiting in eager anticipation for the unveiling of the winning quilts.  A large cloth has been carefully draped over each piece hiding it from view. Eventually the cloths are removed, the cameras appear and there is a frenzy of quilters and photography.

Winner Quilts

Once the hustle and bustle of the day had died down, I popped back to see these beautiful quilts and started taking some photos.

I found the standard of work was very high this year; I particularly loved the pieces featuring hand quilting and applique.
