The Scottish Quilting Show, Glasgow, 5th to 7th March

Doesn’t a year go by quickly! I’m very much looking forward to exhibiting at The Scottish Quilting Show at the SEC, Glasgow from Thursday 5th to Saturday 7th March. My stand number is K20 … if you turn left as you enter the show, I am on the furthest aisle opposite the Modern Quilters Guild stand. I will be demonstrating simple screen printing techniques on my stand and am giving a talk on Understanding Colour on Thursday at 2pm and Friday at 3pm. I’ll have my hand printed and dyed fabrics for sale as well as my books, dyes, auxiliary chemicals, screens and squeegees. Best buddy Ruth Brown will be helping out so I hope you can join us!

You know I really thought we would be living in Scotland by now but the house move is still ongoing. It is all very frustrating but I’ve been making good use of my studio whilst I still have it. I’m exhibiting a new Shoreline quilt in the professional makers category at the show ……..

Inspired by the North Ayrshire coast Shoreline III is an abstract interpretation of the colours and textures of the sea, the land and the sky. Shoreline IV is also complete but I can’t share yet and numbers V and VI are well on there way. The quiet joy that I get from making has done a great deal to keep me sane over the last few months! I’ve also spent time on my next book which I expect to publish in the summer. I’ve finished printing all the samples so should we, by some miracle, actually move house before then I will only need my laptop to finish it!

Hope to see some of you in Glasgow x.
