We’ve now moved on from France and are in Spain heading towards Portugal on our road trip. We’ve passed lots of houses in a combination of these warm colours. I can see myself using this mix of colours in a quilt

This is a colour combination I often use. The photos show four ‘artisan’ chopstick quilted placemats. The placement of the chopsticks is different for each placemat.

Oysters are considered to be brain food. I rather like the way these oysters were presented and immediately saw how this could be translated into a patchwork design. We came across an oyster shack called after spotting a reader’s recommendation in a Saturday’s edition of the . The oyster’s were delicious and the staff so friendly, including the owner, Fabrice. Definitely worth a visit.
Once we’d eaten the oysters we were told to toss the shells back into the sea. As it was low tide the discarded shells were visible. See the second photo. Again the mass of empty oyster shells has inspired me as I can visualise a small quilted wall hanging made up of white, greys in different shades. I rather like the busyness of the shells.

My work goes in phases: sometimes I will produce work using a particular colour combination or I might be going through a Boro inspired period. For a while I drawn to hand appliqué and the shapes are often cut freehand which adds a wobbliness that appeals. For the ring I made some bias tape.

The circles and ring were hand appliquéd and the rest has been pieced by machine. I then quilted the wall hanging by machine on the diagonal.

I ended up calling this mini wall hanging ‘Subtle Distortion’ for reasons which are obvious. I was practising insetting skinny strips and was really pleased with the result - swipe the screen to the third photo. I’ve got into the habit (a very bad one) of quilting not with a walking foot but with my standard foot. Lesson learned and I should have used my walking foot to get a better grip on the fabric.

This wall hanging is called ‘Meandering’. The shapes were appliquéd by hand. I then hand stitched the couching followed by hand quilting. All in all a very satisfying piece to make.

I don’t think I could have chosen a better backdrop to photograph this quilt.
When first looking at the quilt you’ll see triangles, but then you can see triangles within triangles.

This may look like a relatively simple design but I actually found it quite challenging. I’ve called this quilted wall hanging ‘Experimenting With Triangles’.
