Peggy Fend

Peggy has considered the site of her final quilt assessment very carefully. We feel the colours and proportions complement her collection of personal objects perfectly.

The image on the left shows a detail of the final assessment and illustrates how the quilting design integrates the various elements of the quilt surface so beautifully.

The quilt is presented against a black board for added visual impact.

Peggy has a wonderful understanding of the effectiveness of complementary colours.

This image of the reverse of the Peggy's wall quilt shows the label and text which forms a permanent record of the piece.

Peggy's first assessment item for this course was the dramatic wallhanging seen above. The asymmetric shape of the hanging perfectly reflects the space it occupies. The detail below shows Peggy's skilful way of adding texture with quilting.

Portfolio samples show how colour can be applied to fabrics using a variety of media.

The living world has provided inspiration for the values and placement of colours in these samples of English pieced hexagons. Making the hexagons with irregular sides opens up a whole lot of new design possibilities as the sample on the right so beautifully illustrates.

Fabric manipulation is an ideal technique for creating flowers with dimension like these gorgeous lilies above left.

Clever fabric selection has contributed to the effectiveness of the print above. The cut paper snowflake shape is echoed in the border with a commercially printed design.

Portfolio samples of simple piecing, counterchange and stencilling with fabric pastels were worked during the early modules of the course.
