Janet's off on tour again

Janet Valentine will be showing a quilt selected as part of 'The Living World' touring exhibition 2016 - 2017

Daisy, Daisy, Daisies by Janet Valentine

Janet says "The piece is called Daisy, Daisy, Daisies and was inspired by the thousands of daisies that grow in my garden each summer. I leave the front lawn to grow, allowing the wild flowers to seed and helping the wildlife.

It was stencilled and roller painted with fabric paints after dyeing the fabric. Machine stitching and couching.
