Judy Fairless came to Bristol Quilters this month and gave us a fascinating talk on her journey Along the Silk Road with lots of the inspirational photos she took along the way.  There was so much wonderful architecture and lots of fascinating people and places - inspiration and ideas for lots and lots of quilts.

She also gave us an excellent workshop entitled "Inspired by Matisse".  We looked at the work of Matisse, with particular emphasis on his later cutouts.  We all brought something along to inspire us and, in the morning, Judy gave us exercises with paper to build up our ideas for the actual quilt.  She talked about Matisse's use of colour although, of course, we could use our own ideas too. 

We used bonded applique techniques and then close stitching.

Everyone seemed to have a good time and certainly everyone achieved excellent results.  This is my attempt, based on a jug my son had brought back for me from India a few years ago.
