By the end of \u00a01995 I was getting sick of strong bright, even hectic, colours and wanting to work in some more soothing neutrals. \u00a0Was this an antidote to the fast pace of change I\/we’d gone through? \u00a0 Possibly – relocating back to one’s own country after several years away involved a lot of change – and it’s something that will probably loom again later this year, and I wonder if it will be reflected in what I do creatively…<\/p>\n

\"Winter<\/a><\/p>\n

“Winter Beach 1995”\u00a0 approx 150cm w \u00a0x \u00a090cm h is from this period. \u00a0 <\/span><\/em>\u00a0 \u00a0No sashings or borders; machine quilted in the ditch and hand quilted down the middle of each strip insert, faced. \u00a0\u00a0One of my favourite ways to make a quilt at that time was to run linear inserts across a width of fabric, wandering and crossing over at random, and then cutting into segments=blocks to be joined with others. \u00a0For a big project, selvedge to selvedge x \u00a08″ wide is efficient and produces 6 x 6 1\/2″ blocks – but of course the same procedure applies whatever size\/width of fabric you have. \u00a0On a large scale several years later and back in stronger colour, this method produced Ivan and Tara’s Wedding Quilt<\/a>\u00a02000, 2.5m x 2.75m , 96″ x 108″, which also had a double pillow sham … quilted in the ditch and down the middle of each strip insert. \u00a0 Every now and then while making it, I did wonder what I was thinking, but reminded myself it was for newly weds in the family. \u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n
