England. Keri and I went to visit Lu Summers in her new screenprinting and quilting
studio in Ely... and it was truly fabulous.

I wish I'd taken some pics of the studio - so much light and space! We did a
bit of printing - I shared my block printing technique for continuous patterning
with them - but mostly, we talked :)
Lu Summers - aka Summersville |
Keri - aka Two Little Flowers |
I actually only managed to carve out my block in all that time, so maybe I was
talking away the most ;) I have printed it up since I've got home, though, and I rather like it :)
I love how you just see circles in this design |
Must practise my technique though as it wasn't always properly lined up ;) |
While waiting for my train back to London I snapped this pic at Ely Station - loved
the bicycles all lined up :)

Thank you so much Lu and Keri for such a great day!
p.s. if you're interested in quilting, then you might also be interested in the
fact that Lu has a book coming out soon which you can pre-order here.
looks very tricky to line up, i would be hopeless at that, so i think you did a pretty good job! i'd like to see it in that lovely blue you've been using :-)
ReplyDeleteThanks Fran :) I certainly have to have my specs on!
DeleteI am planning to try it out with some other colours, and yes, that blue would be great.

ReplyDeleteOh, and in the words of Patty Bouvier (as she farewelled her twin sister Selma off on her honeymoon with Sideshow Bob on 'The Simpsons', in a gravelly nicotine voice.....)...."I'm sooooooooooo jealous".
