In the Garden

My work for outdoors at Newark Park is called "Summer Quilts the Garden in Colour".It makes reference to the transparency of glass within the building, pieces of patchwork and the colour of summer flowers. It takes the form of a threefold screen. Here is an image of one section, a work in progress.

African quilt

Recently I have been distracted  making a quilt for the Buy a Plank project set up by Helen Conway and Magie Relph to raise money for a clinic in The Gambia.
This all started with a quilt called the No1 African Fabric Shop being cut into planks and sold to quilters to make another quilt incorporating the plank. The quilts are now being auctioned to raise money for the clinic.
You can see the results of the project, plus details about the clinic on www.buyaplank.com
I really enjoyed piecing this quilt and it was the perfect opportunity to use part of my stash of African fabrics.
