We had a super stimulating talk by Sue Brown about her 'Same Sea, Different Boat: 2020' project, which documents people's responses to lockdown. She encouraged as many members as possible to take part by creating their own collagraph plates to send to her for printing and inclusion in the large-scale quilts nearing completion. We're really looking forward to seeing those that members have made - please do send a photo.*
"The top cushion is the one just finished and the one underneath which inspired it was from the Folk Art workshop with Anne Kelly in 2019. I used the same 1960s furnishing fabric for the main appliqué motifs, added some old embroidery transfers and hand embroidered them, as well as adding hand stitching to the commercial fabric shapes. Oddments of lace, a dyed lace doyley and the addition of machine stitched outlines echoing the main shapes completed the front."
