This little quilt showcases a digital print of one of my crow paintings at its centre. The print was made using fibre reactive dyes and is surrounded by my own hand dyed cotton fabrics. The feathers are applied using painted fusible webbing. Variegated threads lend subtle colour interest to the free motion quilting and there is additional hand seed stitching for texture. It has a hidden sleeve at the top edge so is ready for hanging – just needs a slim batten or rod.

This is a whole cloth quilt with lots of free motion machine quilting and a little hand quilted detail. The swirling moths have been discharge printed from the charcoal grey fabric using a number of compressed sponge blocks. The moon has been painted with fabric paints. I hope I have achieved a mysterious and moonlit night flight!

This is a pieced quilt featuring a monoprinted screen print surrounded by my hand dyed and discharged cotton fabrics. The text which gives the quilt its title is a quote from a poem by Christina Rossetti. Her words about ‘moth with dusty wing’ resonated with me – it speaks of their fragility. It has been block printed with additional hand painted detail. The quilting is largely free motion machine stitch and there is lots of hand quilting and knotting too.
