My guest for episode 26 is Valerie Wilson. I have known for over a decade and often been up to my elbows with fabric dyeing and flour resist paste in her studio. Oh, how she had the patience to put up with me I have no idea. I had the joy of working with Val on a Fibre Art Network challenge several years ago. We had to partner up and one quilter (Val) was to make a fabric portrait and her challenge partner (me) was to make an abstract version of that art piece. I was so impressed with the vibrant colour palette, intricate detail of the cut appliqué and the incredible stitching on her 1950s car portrait that it was easy to be inspired to create a partner piece. Working with her was a breeze and it was one of my favourite challenges to this day. So on this episode of the podcast we’ll be talking about photo to fibre art portraits and Val’s new book.Link to the Podcast Trailer - https://youtu.be/Dw4WNEBxVV8Link to the GIVEAWAY - https://kingsumo.com/g/4tympg/qof-episode-26-giveawayLink to Val's Website - https://valeriewilsonartist.com/Support the showThank you for listening to the Quilter on Fire Podcast.
