Small work & Journal quilts

Coast path

2017 onwards
Inspired by the South West Coast Path which stretches from Minehead to Poole and encompasses some of my favourite walks. This is the beginning of this series - there is more to come ...

Narrative series

2016 onwards
These small canvases and framed works continue the exploration of the random items I collect on my walks on the beaches of the south coast. Here the focus is on single items or small groups - shells with holes, stripy pebbles, scruffy feathers battered by the sea and the wind, dried-out mermaids purses - combined with textural stitch.

​Journal quilts

​The Contemporary Quilt group of the Quilters' Guild of the British Isles invites its members to take part in a Journal Quilt project every year. The commitment is to produce one small quilt per month for the whole year. The size and orientation varies each year, and sometimes there are additional 'rules' that must be followed. This is a great opportunity to try out new ideas, materials or techniques. 
Journal quilts

2012
These three canvases are inspired by Porthmeor Beach in St Ives, Cornwall. There is a row of artists' studios and cottages which seem to be built directly on the beach. Hand-dyed and printed cotton, machine quilted and hand stitched onto deep box canvases then painted. ​​
