Exhibition | A Journey in Patchwork 10/10/2011

Magghi McLean makes beautiful, heirloom quilts. Any size, any colour, but all made in 100% cotton from materials collected along the way.

Nine small quilts, just 40cm x 40cm, make up a vibrant exhibition of patchwork, Poetry in Colour. Described by Magghi as her “indulgence”, this group of quilts is the result of her experimenting with design, colour and pattern. Each quilt represents a place, important to Magghi and her family. Each represents a colour – black, purple, pink, red, orange, yellow, blue, green and white, hand-stitched in variations of the Cathedral Window design.

The quilts are for sale, £25 each.

Patchwork is a wonderful traditional craft, and we think you’ll feel inspired to pick up a needle, thread and some fat quarters this Autumn. Get started with Magghi’s beginner kits, £4.

Magghi McLean will be at ReMade on Wednesday 19 October, 10am to 4pm. She’d love to see your patchwork in progress, and is happy to help with problems.

You can find more information about Magghi’s exhibiton at Frugal Cool, or visit her Puffin Patchworks shop. Magghi accepts accepts commissions for heirloom quilts and cushions.
