Corris Uchaf, Wales
Design and Techniques
I am currently running a series of one to one “workshops” (actually more like discussions amid laughter, while pretending to be ever so slightly serious) looking at how we quilters use colour and fabric and our imaginations in our new designs and how we can improve our techniques to further develop these designs.
Although lighthearted and convivial, the sessions explore our approaches to design and how we use our known techniques or learn new ones to implement them into the final quilt or wallhanging or whatever.
If you are interested in joining in – please drop me a line including suggested time / date – generally our shop in Corris is open 11:00 – 16:30 Mon – Sat inclusive.
Price – on application – basically the day is free – just pay for the fabrics used…
Should there be a rainy day in this corner of southern Snowdonia and you need somewhere to park yourself for the day (or part of) or just want that something a bit different whilst on holiday, let us know. You might even get a cup of Tea !! 
Contact us here.

Celtic Knotwork designs (1)
about 1 year ago - Comments Off
I have a commission which I have worked on bit by bit over the past few weeks. As you all know only too well, design for another is an iterative process, especially when locations are far flung. Anyway, the idea was to create a celtic knotwork inspired quilt top, with a post-modernist fairly strict geometric
Kids enjoyed themselves

Ah Well – the kids had a field day … for it was indeed their day. Mostly lousy weather so they were all dry and safe indoors being constructive and learning new worthwhile crafting skills, as well as using some imagination. Designing, choosing fabrics and colours, sewing and needlefelting. Every single one of them managed

Ode to Van Gogh
about 1 year ago - Comments Off
Just in case you missed it earlier … I went through a stage not so long ago of creating wallhangings based on the works of recent great artists. In this wallhanging, I created my impression of Vincent Van Gogh’s “sunflowers” in fabric. The sunflower petals were more loosely attached as they got closer to the
Ollie’s Quilt
about 1 year ago - Comments Off
Ollie is a local gentlewoman who sometimes works with me in the shop and who rarely used a needle and thread. All that was to change, as Ollie came to the conclusion that working in a quilting shop should encourage her to do “something”. Perhaps nothing too adventurous, but something. She therefore decided to look
