Today I attended a WAQA workshop on curved piecing by Jan Rowe. Here are my blocks so far. I’ll eventually sew them all together to make a quilt top.

WAQA Exhibition - COVID QuiltWest

 


The usual exhibition for West Australian Quilters Association was cancelled this year due to COVID.  Luckily we were able to have an exhibition on a smaller scale. The piece above is my entry. It is made with deconstructed screen printing, mono-printing, block printing, hand dyed fabrics, Inktense pencils, foiling, reverse applique, free-motion machine stitch and hand stitch. 

Here are some of favourite quilts by other artists in the show. 













And the best in show
