“Made in Europe” showcases 30 art quilts from makers in the
SAQA Europe and ME region. The quilts celebrate geographical features of the
region – the mountainsides in Italy, England’s “green and pleasant land”, birds
in Sweden and local flowers in abundance. Abstract works reflect wintery walks
on our shores and thought provoking designs depicted by text often in the
maker’s mother tongue command your attention.
These art quilts show the wide variety of design and
techniques used to make textile in Europe and the ME. Many of the works are
created using the makers own hand dyed fabrics, others are hand painted and
some incorporate digital images. There are whole cloth pieces, quilts which
have been neatly pieced and others where makers have applied a rougher more
patched look. Quilts are machine
stitched, hand stitched, fused and embellished with yarns and beads.
