The Background I decided to embark on a City & Guilds Certificate in stitched textiles (patchwork and quilting) and continued then with the Diploma level. I was extremely surprised and honoured when I was nominated and accepted by the adjudicators to exhibit in the C & G Student Gallery at The Festival of Quilts at the NEC in Birmingham. My Diploma research was based on the Mawddach Estuary, and the archeological finds in the area. My exhibition included my three Diploma Assessment pieces.
The Quilt The combination of rusting metals, decaying structures and the magnificent landscape were my inspiration to convey the tranquillity and essence of the Mawddach. Bamboo Silk, rust dyed using rusty objects collected from the area, the design lines inspired by the decaying wharf. Sponged with 36
acrylic ink – machined quilted.
