The Cutting (& Stitching) Edge – Reflections

My day job as a helicopter pilot, stuntman and ninja means that I’m a bit snowed under at the moment, so I’ve chosen to spend the next few Cutting (& Stitching) Edges looking back at the fantastic artists we’ve featured so far this year.

We started the year with Megan Canning and her education-styled biology and anatomy pieces – clever stuff!

The art quilts of Melanie Testa were next up – don’t forget you can buy her book and learn how to create your own quilty treasures!

Louise Riley was next, and I was fortunate to see her work for reals in the Beware of Embroidery exhibition.

And was enchanted by the animation from Maggie and Mildred.

It’s safe to say the year got off to a very good start! Check back next week for more reflections and more fantastic stitchery!
