HELEN SMITH

A life-long maker and lover of textiles, Helen's current obsession is stitching landscape-inspired quilted panels.

​Creating soft tactile items from fabrics and weaving yarns in gorgeous colours and patterns makes me very happy.
 
I knit, spin, embroider and quilt… but of all the fibre arts I play with, quilting is still my favourite thing to do.
 
The designs for my quilted panels usually come from the doodles I make in my notebooks.

But the most fun thing to do is dive into my piles of fabric to find beautiful combinations of colours and patterns and spend hours playing with different arrangements!

These stitched panels started as my contribution for the Land into Art project but they have rather taken over my life!  

​They  are based on a photograph I took from near the top of Hergest Ridge looking towards Hay Bluff. 

Each panel is heavily stitched with beautiful threads to break up and create new lines across the landscape.
