Quiltmaking: Week 4: 31/03 - 4/04

Embellisher:
The layering of this technique will be effective within my work, particularly combined with other techniques, and the shapes from the fairground survey. I also enjoyed how it can change the shape of a lightweight material - this wouldn't work for this project.




London:
After visiting Somerset House, Berwick Street & Liberties, I have realized the vast range of materials available.
Somerset House really opened my eyes as to what you can achieve with scrap materials.




The exhibition included 'Patching', although my interpretation of this was more decorative, and will link efficiently to my sketchbook work and to the Fairground survey I produced.



Throughout the day I saw various Indian materials, the most interesting were the quilted blankets, made from old Sari's stitched together using Kantha embroidery. These weren't typically quilted with wadding, which added to the movement of the material, I will develop on this throughout my work.
