To the Brim II
To the Brim II
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.

180cm x 180cm
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’.

Ragged and Black is a lyric from a Joni Mitchell song. I like to work with a title right from the start when I’m making a quilt and these words seemed to fit my crow character perfectly. The original image was a painting I made using gouache and Indian ink on watercolour paper. The image was scanned and digitally printed on a wide format printer using fibre reactive dyes. I free motion quilted the printed, wholecloth image and added detail with fabric painting and digitally embroidered text.
