Hidden - 21Nov - 22 Dec

I'm delighted that my work is part of this brand new show at The House of Smalls, in Edinburgh. 

This is an exhibition by 60 women who have been affected  or witnessed domestic abuse either mentally or physically.

Timed to coincide with 25th November - White Ribbon Day for the elimination of violence against women.

This mini quilt speaks of women who are educated and accomplished professionals  but in a patriarchal society many a time husbands, partners and employers  tell them to shut up, their opinions and ideas are dismissed.

A number of women shut up to keep the peace and in the process are mentally traumatised. They develop illnesses which are unexplained.

The mini quilt is 12cm × 12cm.

Techniques: Applique and embroidery 

Framed and ready to hang.

With frame - 6" × 6"

Available for sale.

Please leave a comment if you would like to purchase the piece.

If you are in Edinburgh, do pop in to view all the fantastic work done by 60 artists.

Chay Reds, Ferrous Black

I was fortunate to be able to spend time and view the Chay Reds  Ferrous Black exhibition at MAP in Bangalore. 

Blocks used in printing the cloth.

The printing process. A slow painstaking process.

Floral borders.

A variety of bird and animal motifs.

If you are in Bangalore and can spare a couple of hours  do go and view this show. It's on till March 2025 at MAP (Museum of Art and Photography)

A quilt experiment - Bird of Paradise

I'm experimenting with creating a hand pieced layer of inchies which will support a layer of Suffolk puffs. 

A contemporary quilt inspired by Bird of Paradise.

The 20" × 20" layer of inchies are done and now I've begun making the Suffolk puffs. 400 to be made.
