Laura's Quilt

During the summer of 2011 I created a quilt for a baby in my home church.

As you can see I have stitched well known animals, namely a tortoise, duck, bunny, whale, pig and caterpillar.

The fabrics I used were purchased in Fashion and Fabrics, St. Albans. Below are some closeups of three of the animals. As you can see I have used contrasting colours for thread and material e.g. blue and yellow.


This quilt is now the property of Laura Grace Patrick - my god-daughter!

       

I sold a piece of work!!

After finishing my A levels I did an art foundation course for a year in my home town, St Albans.

I did this from September 2010 to June 2011.

 In about April/May 2011 I created a car dump piece, which used material, paper, sugar paper and paint. I used machine stitching to attach the material cars to the paper which I had already screen printed a car dump on to.

We  had an exhibition in a gallery in town at the exhibition, where someone offered £120 for it! 

It is currently in Germany.

 Below are some pictures; of the full piece, a zoomed in version of the top left-hand side and a zoomed in version of the right middle side.

Previous work

To start with I thought I would show you some of my favourite creations from when I first got into textiles.   

On the right is a felt pot I made as part of my AS textiles coursework during 2009. The whole pot took a day to create before adding the leaves and a machine stitched piece. Originally it was meant to be green but we turned it inside out as we preferred  the pink side.

 A graffiti inspired piece which uses felting, weaving, machine stitching and a plastic pocket. It was especially inspired by the works of Banksy.  This was my A Level art exam piece made in 2010.

A variety of beach inspired pieces using textiles; machine stitch, embroidery, felt and collage. Part of my A Level coursework.
