FABRIC PAPER

There's quite a buzz going around about paper quilts, fabric paper, etc, so I thought I would put up these two. They are by WENDY COTERILL of Gallery Textiles (see Links - there are more examples on her website). Beryl Taylor (see Links) also has fabulous work.

I taught some classes at Wendy's shop last year, so was able to see (and photograph) these two paper quilts in the flesh - they are AMAZING in real life - tons of embroidery, rich in texture.

Each one is about 3ft x 4ft in size - and she just hung them up with a bit of tape! If they were mine (and believe me, I hinted as to whether they were for sale) they would be in gold frames.

I find all this very interesting, and it's all percolating in my brain ... so watch this space...

I'm thinking that between this class, Frances Pickering's and my revived interest in embroidery, interesting things might just start happening.

Meantime, enjoy the eye candy!
