On Friday I went to this show with my mum and some friends. We had a lovely day out and although the show was very small this year there was some beautiful work to be seen.
This work is by
Jane Hopkins and has been inspired by a place called Clennon Valley. The left hand one is 'Spring at Clennon Valley' and the right 'Winter at Clennon Valley'. Reverse applique using organzas and embroidery have been used. They are quite large (about 90cm) and wonderfully detailed.
Here are three detailed shots from the Spring one.
Another piece of hers that I really liked was 'Early Riser', made using the same techniques.
These two pieces were created by Joan Dawson of South West Quilters.
Kathleen Matthews had an exhibition of the pieces that she had made for her book 'Stitched Textiles: Landscapes'. As well as featuring beautiful work the book shows you how to make some of the pieces.

These two pieces by Mary Bird contained hand dyed fabrics, photo transfers and loads of stitching.
