Philippa Naylor

Today I went as a visitor to Keene Quilters as they had the guest speaker Philippa Naylor. I have admired her work for several years as was very excited about being able to see her work in the flesh. I wasn't disappointed! She uses much brighter colours than me, with expert effect. She dyes all her own fabric and designs her own quilts. They are then completed by using tranpunto and the most complex free machine quilting. The majority of her quilts have won major awards and you can see why, in the pictures above. I would love to attend a workshop with her. Look at her website for more inspirational work.
Two vacancies had become available in Keene Quilters for 2011 and so I have applied for a place. I know quite a few of the members from Chelmsford EG or various workshops, so I should soon settle in. They have already booked an excellent list of guest speakers for next year, so pop along to one of their open afternoons if you can.
