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.
