Lynne Pretty

I took up quilting in 2002 after taking early retirement. I took the City and Guilds Patchwork and Quilting Certificate at Otley and the Diploma in Cambridge, both with Annette Morgan as tutor. I have belonged to Out Of The Fold since it started in 2006. I am a member of CQ - the Contemporary Group of the Quilter's Guild. My work has been exhibited in Australia, Canada and Prague as well as UK national  exhibitions. I am available to give talks and workshops to interested groups.

I took part in the Suffolk Open Studios in 2010 and 2012.   Tin Deep was juried in to the CQ@10 exhibition which started at the Festival of Quilts 2012 and then toured the country. My work is often based on my travels and historical periods eg Tudor and Anglo-Saxon. I enjoy designing, dyeing and printing the fabrics which I then go on to stitch. I am now giving talks and workshops to interested groups. e-mail Lynne.pretty@btinternet.com
