Art Journey – Exhibitions {Part 2} from Factotum of Arts

Sorry for the delay in this post. The last quarter of 2022 was so busy as I was transitioning my out of my job and the company I worked for, for 24 years. Also, in December I got to go Morocco and came back from traveling with COVID. It was a very interesting year end.

Just a reminder, this is what I have found or done on my journey moving from being a quilter to a textile artist. This may or may not be the best path for you. Let’s talk about how to get into an exhibition and ...

BY HAND from Tales of a Stitcher

It has been a while, so I am jump starting this blog with a bit of exhibition news.

Six of my quilts are currently on view in a LIVE gallery setting as part of the Attleboro Arts Museum’s exhibition BY HAND—Illuminating the bond between Artist and Material.

According to their website, “By Hand presents original works that exemplify a symbiotic relationship between material and artist. The pieces on view demonstrate that creator and media are inextricably tied, and their mutual respect has served as fuel from concept through construction. With this strong bond, each player surfaces the other ...

Slow Stitching over Easter from Romany Quilting

I have to admit that I’ve been rather slow working on this project, “All Through the Night” by Bonnie Sullivan. The first three blocks are completed – however I’ve worked on several more of these blocks when I had the correct coloured thread on the needle. And I’ve also got a couple of other stitchery projects started, just can’t seem to help myself!

Three blocks done

Quilt Stories (also known as Artist's Statements) from Wendy's Quilts and More

Our exhibition is getting closer! This week I'm going to give a short talk to our guild about Quilt Stories. You know, that blurb the quilt maker writes to go with their quilt.

Disclaimer - I'm no expert when it comes to grammar and sentence formation, but I do know what I like to read when I go to a quilt show.

I know many quilters are modest people and struggle to say something positive about their own quilts!

But I urge you to be proud of your own work. You've chosen to enter it into the exhibition ...

gathering inspiration ~ the Whitworth from Charm About You

A few weeks ago I visited the Whitworth Art Gallery in my home city of Manchester. I was so inspired by the exhibitions that I was going to write a post, life kind of took over and it's been sitting in my drafts. Since we are now on lock down and most of us are staying home, I thought you might like to see a bit of artistic inspiration from the 'Tapestries' and 'Unreformed: Wallpaper and Design Diversity' exhibits, amongst others.

The colourful mural above was created by Ibukun Baldwin, showing a little about how tapestries are made and ...

Festival Thoughts - Festival of Quilts 2017 from Joy of Quilting

This year I was asked to write a Blog Review of The Festival of Quilts Exhibition at The NEC Birmingham. It was an easy decision for me. I go to The Festival every year and love it dearly.

Of course the challenge for me this year was to take in everything - well, as much as I could in almost two days. And then to write a post to Share my Thoughts with you all.

The Festival of Quilts has recently started it's own Blog and the idea is to link my Blog Post to their Blog.

Of course if ...
