Yvonne's Quilt Show and Tell

Yvonne is Chair at Alveva and a famous UK Quilt Artist.

She will be exhibiting at the NEC this month.

She showed us her quilt she had just finished using silk squares 

and cream print fabric she had been collecting for years.

It is a really modern quilt and was inspired by the talk by Lucy Summers 

earlier in the year.

March Alveva Quilt Meeting

Alveva Quilters meet the third Wednesday evening of most months.

At The Methodist Hall  Feltwell.

From 7pm until 9

There is always lots to see, share and learn.

We start with the notices and catch up and then "Show and Tell".

This month there were quilts and Liz showed us her

quilted cushion which was beautifully done.

All are welcome so come along and share.

Lucy Summers was our speaker for the evening, 

Sharing her quilts with the fabric she has designed herself for Moda.

Lucy Summers

Lucy Summers gave a talk at Alveva Quilters. 

See previous post HERE

She showed us her fabrics and quilts that she had made with them.

She then went on to demonstrate her layered screen printing technique

using Thermofax Screens. 

She then got several members to have a go and have their own 

piece of fabric. I had a screen print too!

You can see Lucy's quilts are very colourful and she often uses a 

'improve' technique to make them.

 You use what ever fabric you have and make small areas

of patchwork and then join them together.

She was also excited to show and tell us about her new book. 

Which comes out soon!

A great evening and we all brought some of her fabric 

or one of her china mugs.
