​Looking Closer

Quilt inspired by an extract of a child's poem
Hungry Fire ............
    The flames rapidly grow higher,    Flying higher the red sparks glow,
    In the middle a fiery battle,Roaring, raging
    Evermore till it dies away.
by Tristan from Windermere, Cumbria


The uneven textured surface of a vintage French linen bedsheet is explored to build contrasting surfaces using stitch, hand-dyed and a little commercial fabric. In it I sought to recreate the endless movement, life and soul of a fire.
