The remit of the exhibition was to use a different medium as well as traditional fabric to make 1 or 2 20 cm square quilts (that's approx. 8" square).
My additional medium was paper and my two quilts use a fabric background (velvet), which is heavily machine stitched and then I applied inchies made from one of my fabric/paper collages. I made 2 special collages just for this purpose. My first quilt is called Italian Windows .
And here is Rose Windows.
It seems like absolutely ages since I made these (autumn last year) but now that the exhibition is up and running I can show them here too. Not sure if I will ever see them again as they are both up for sale. You will also notice that they were very much inspired by my Houston Journal Quilt 2007 which I had only just finished when I started work on these two.
