Dreaming in Colour: The Jury’s Decision

18 July 2014 Filed Under: Contemporary Quilts, Dreaming in Colour Process, Exhibitions

Last month I shared with you, in more or less real time, The Process of Creating Dreaming in Colour – my entry for for the Carrefour Européen du Patchwork/ European Patchwork Meeting 2014 contest- Imagine.   I was drawn to this contest not for the substantial prize money on offer but the opportunity to have my work […]

Dreaming in Colour: Entry Submitted!

24 June 2014 Filed Under: Contemporary Quilts, Dreaming in Colour Process

It’s  nearly three weeks since I decided I would try and complete an entry for for the Carrefour Européen du Patchwork/ European Patchwork Meeting 2014 contest- Imagine.   Although this hasn’t been the only project I’ve been working on,  it has been quite intense.  In case you missed them, here are my previous posts about the process […]

Dreaming in Colour: Let the Quilting Begin

12 June 2014 Filed Under: Dreaming in Colour Process

Dreaming in Colour: Update from the Rainbow Room

10 June 2014 Filed Under: Dreaming in Colour Process

Dreaming in Colour is coming together. There are a couple of rows of dancing shapes to go along the bottom – or maybe a row on the top and the bottom.  Decisions. Decisions.  The next step will be to audition some different colour combinations. I can always look out the window for inspiration! This the […]
