Jan Tillett 15 & 16 June 2015

Jan Tillett was the guest speaker at the meeting on 15 June.  She gave a lively talk about the influences in her creative work: both her mother and grandmother sewed so there was always fabric in her house and as a result her stash includes very old fabrics.  Many of her creations are made from recycled fabrics. 

These pictures show Jan with a small sample of her prolific output of work.  More details can be found on her website at www.jantillett.co.uk

The following day we had a workshop with Jan using soluble film, shrink polyester, fibres and a wide variety of textiles, including velvet.  And these are some of the pieces produced by members of London Quilters
