Golden Light 2

Golden Light 2 is the second of a pair of silk wall hangings with both an ecclesiastical and a Welsh cultural inspiration..
Working wholecloth, using both free machine and hand quilting, was a joy as the shapes appeared in the glowing yellow silk dupion.
Extra areas of wadding were added to enhance this effect in areas of focal interest.

  • 76cm x 53cm
  • Silk dupion fabric
  • Cotton backing and wadding
  • Cotton and metallic threads
  • Wholecloth
  • Free machine quilted

Small Geckos is a series of five pieces based on the magic tile block.
They developed as an experiment with colour combinations.

More geckos turned up to get their friends out of prison!
They all escaped, so there are no more ‘small gecko’ quilts!
