Quilts Outside at Nature in Art

My quilts hanging in the garden of Nature in Art, seemed to have survived the heavy rain, drying out quickly and glowing in the warm sunshine. 

Three long thin quilts wrapped around the trunks of the Hazel tree and a quilt hung on the garden wall nearby, covered in symbols to represent the qualities of the Hazel as the Tree of Knowledge. Orange used as the colour traditionally associated with the Hazel.

Day trip to Weston

Kay & I spent a lovely afternoon in Weston super Mare yesterday, visiting the Weston Quilt Show; admiring some beautiful quilts, especially one made using half inch hexagons and French knots as quilting stitches. A great way to use up all those little scraps of fabric, I can't bear to throw away.

I've always enjoyed piecing over papers and am sure will be part of a contemporary quilt, I'm working on for Nature in Art.
