Fforwm Creft Cymru
Jul 10th
This is a quilt that I made early in 2009 for display in the Fforwm Creft Cymru (Craft Forum Wales) gallery in Machynlleth, Powys.
Themed on Spring, it resembles a view of revived flora amidst blossoming colours, yes the mis-shapen edges were deliberate to enhance the dynamics of the season.
It has now been sold (unfortunately (?) – I did enjoy the design and the construction and was sad in a strange way to see it sold, but pleased that someone liked it enough to buy!
Celf yn y llan
Sep 23rd
Yep, that was the weekend that was – and we failed miserably to write about it in time …… Art in the Aisles with an apt theme “Heddwch” / “Peace” …. we can only endorse that noble sentiment.
The 4th Binnenial Arts and Craft trail in the lovely Dyffryn Ardudwy, just north of Abermaw (Barmouth). But there again, as you’re in the know you didn’t need reminding and were there; as was Bumble Bee Quilting, just to help support the fabric crafts.
Presumably you got to all the workshops, and you visited the painters, poets, embroiderers, knitters, photographers as well as the textiles and quilters.
We enjoyed it immensly and will return to the church hall in 2 years time – see you all again then no doubt.
We shall also try to give you some advance warning then as well …..
