Quilt all done and dusted

My Big Idea

Part of my uni course I needed to produce a large piece of art a 'big idea'. This was my big idea a portrait quilt, a quilt that showed all the bits that had made me, me. Looking back on these pictures I'm really proud of what I produced I'm also amazed at how my life has changed in 3 years. Back then I was a single mum studying to be a teacher. I'm now married, new buba and wondering what is next.

I spent many hours working on this there is a whole variety of textile techniques using painting, dying, screen printing, applique.


Piecing it together

 The back of the quilt is large piece of hand felting that I loosely stitched.
