The Stitchery of Catherine Hill, a Lancashire Lass
I’m thrilled that my interview with Modern Quilter, Sarah Hibbert, has appeared in The Quilters’ Guild Members magazine July 2020 edition.
You can see more beautiful quilts from Sarah in a previous post.
You can see more quilts in ‘Beyond the Festival of Quilts’ – the Virtual 2020 show.
A little textile inspiration from my YouTube Textile Collection. Today it features textile art by artist Sabine Kaner.
Sabine has a stash of old knitted garments and wool yarn, that she uses as the base for her textile art. The garments are discarded family jumpers or sourced from charity shops.
She uses her own life experiences to create her work. Each piece tells a story.
Sabine is a member of Prism and the The Society for Embroidered Work.

Pop over to my previous ‘Aran Illingworth’ post for more textile inspiration featuring pre-loved cloth.
A little textile inspiration from my YouTube Textile Collection. Today it features the colourful & frugal, Improv Quilts of Christine Green.
Christine’s improv patchwork is inspired by the philosophy of the Gees Bend Quilters. Every scrap of salvaged cloth is used. She sources discarded cloth and preloved garments to make her colourful art quilts.
The garments are washed and cut up. Nothing is wasted. Christine uses shirt buttons, pockets, cuffs and plackets to make layers of interest in each piece of work.
Christine worked for the BBC as a Graphic Designer and now uses her love of colour and pattern to create her organic improv quilts.
You can see more improv patchwork in my previous post about Modern Quilter Sarah Hibbert.
