I love paint so when the chance arose to submit a piece for a competition entitled The Magic of Colour, I knew straight away what my inspiration would be.
This is a photograph of my watercolour paintbox, digitally printed to cotton, with machine quilting and hand embellishment.

To the Brim II is a small quilt inspired by the paintings of Paul Klee. I especially loved the quirky composition of his painting ‘Ad Marginem’ where the design elements are concentrated to the very edges of the canvas. His colour palette is always inspirational, the watercolours in particular. I referred to three of his paintings to arrive at this design of my own.

This quilt was inspired by several of my favourite Paul Klee paintings. I pieced together many squares of hand dyed, rusted and digitally printed fabrics and worked onto the resulting surface to add appliqué, fabric painting, stencilled and stamped text. It was completed with closely spaced free motion quilting and a little hand stitched embroidery. The quilt can be viewed from any of its four sides as the design elements are directed to the edges of the piece, just like in Klee’s ‘Ad Marginum’.
