Doris Alcock

Ynys Enlli

Picture
Enlli is an island off the Lleyn peninsula much loved and much visited by our family. Both pieces were made using photographs taken by my husband Mike Alcock. I drew the images from these and then reproduced them using my embellisher . The resulting pieces were then framed and layered and quilted by hand.

Fish and Chips 

Picture











Made for the Batik Beauties challenge 2009, theme "Delights of the Sea".  Fish and Chips are a nostalgic seaside treat for many of us.  Billy, my cousin's cat who used to lurk at eye level with the dining table, would be in heaven at a fish and chip counter!  Batik fabrics in abstract textures suggested batter, chips and mushy peas, while others with retro patterns were perfect for the formica counter.
Machine piecing and applique; machine quilting (including trapunto) and big stitch hand quilting.  The chip fork was cut from a Magnum lolly stick.

The Roll Ons

Beyond The Jelly Roll

Picture
Following a surfeit of jelly roll quilts seen at exhibitions during 2009 and 2010, we decided to work on our own interpretation.
