Quilts from 2017 onwards

 

2021   ENGLAND

            A table topper using the Kaleidoscope method - this took ages to make and was particularly                     difficult.  I had said "never again" when I last did one of these, and obviously forgot!

            Speke Hall, Liverpool.  I haven't actually visited this wonderful old house yet, but I was inspired to make a tapestry of it to partner with the one below of Bramhall Hall, Stockport, built around the same time - (14\15th century).    I took out a whole section of its width - a window and its surround - in order to make "better" proportions. It still didn't fit into any wooden frame that I could find so I finished up giving it a fabric border, like a quilt picture.  I made the Bramhall Hall tapestry when we first got to the U.S. in 1982.  We had lived about a mile from it in Bramhall - such a long time ago.

           This was copied from a birthday card sent by my daughter because she thought it would inspire me to make something of it.  It did.
