As the 'Breakthrough' Exhibition by Contemporary Quilt has now opened at the
Quilt Museum,
I can finally reveal my entry displayed there "Bexhill Breakwaters"

It is 60cm square, based on photos and sketches of Bexhill-on Sea last year , constructed from an old Durham quilt, stitched and painted, with inserts of old Japanese Kasuri fabric.

I made lots of preparatory materials including the handling sample required and a 'toile' to solve problems along the way. I'll share more about the process in next few posts- good practice for the
Gallery Talk I'm giving at the Quilt Museum on the 28th April!
