Quiltscapes and Quiltline

I have just returned from seeing this exhibition at Bowes Museum. The quilts are by Pauline Burbridge and are a mixture of quilts to go on a bed that would withstand a washing machine and quilts to go on a wall. The techniques that Pauline uses are a mixture of hand and machine embroidery with fabric paints and printing. She also uses cyanotype printing which gives magical results. The exhibition includes a number of sketchbooks and also a number of fascinating samples, giving an idea of the processes that go before making a quilt. The show finishes on 10th April. I thought it was well worth a visit. Has anybody else been?

This is a short clip from the 10 minute film ‘Making’ showing Pauline Burbidge at work – made by Steve Chettle. To buy the DVD, please contact Enceladus Films
