The Library Clock

December's challenge is "Painted Face" and this is Hilary's small quilt. 

She says, "The Clock Face is a sample of their Fingerprint range that I purchased from the Kemshall's stand at Festival of Quilts. The surrounding fabric is part of a fat quarter that has been in my stash for years - nice to finally put it to use."

Townscape Reflections

"Townscape Reflections" by Hilary.

This is Hilary's piece on the subject of "Townscape". It is an applique panel under painted Lutrador. Hilary tells me it was "based on a photograph I took in Chester. I am looking into a shop window at a display with the black and white buildings across the street reflected in the glass."

It's in the bag.

Child's Play

This is Hilary's quilt. She says, "I have tried to give the impression of a child's painting in a colouring book.The figures are machine stitched."

First Flight

This piece is, as yet, unfinished. This is Hilary Martin's interpretation of "First Flight" and is applique over a hand painted surface.

Contrast

"Contrast".

This is Hilary's quilt on the theme of "Contrast". She says, her quilt is "simply a contrast of colours which could be Summer and Winter or hot and cold."

Architecture - City Sunset

City Sunset

This is Hilary's piece for the Architecture theme. It is called "City Sunset", starting life as a photo of the Liverpool skyline. The colours are inspired by the paintings of Ton Schulten.

Night and day

This is Hilary's interpretation of the "Light and Dark" theme. It is inspired by the song "Night and Day" hence the music threading a path through the piece. Machine stitched and quilted.

Blue Sky thinking

This is Hilary's piece for the challenge. 

On Golden Pond

Hilary is still having a few problems getting onto this site, so I am posting this for her.

In explanation of her delightful quilt, she says:

"Over the Xmas break I played with a variety of white fabrics and dyed them using union skins and tea bags.My film piece On Golden Pond is a result of one of these experiments."

Inspired by Ton Schulten

I used a photograph taken on holiday in Leicestershire of the local landscape. Ton Schulten's work really appeals to me with his use of colours.

Size is not everything

This is Hilary's quilt. Unable to get her work onto the site, she asked me to do it for her.

Inspired by a Van Gogh exhibition poster, the stricken sunflower touched by the frost leans over whilst the daisy remains unaffected.

The fabrics used include net which has been machine embroidered.

Hot

This is Hilary's wonderful quilt - full of words using hot. See if you can spot them. I had a lot of fun finding them all when I was lucky enough to see this quilt some days ago.

As Wil mentioned in the last post, Hilary has had problems posting her quilt to the Blog, so I offered to do it for her.
