"My life has always been filled with art, creativity and song and I spent many years as a greetings card illustrator, an Arts worker with the homeless and with life limited adults and twenty years as a Community Choir Leader. Lock down, in March 2020, necessitated another change of focus and I re-discovered my love of machine sewing. I discovered Free-motion machine embroidery and quilting and soon found that I was able to combine it with my skills as an artist, my love of colour and of the natural world, to produce quilted fabric collages. Fabric collage, for me, is like painting with fabric, building up colours and forms using lots of tiny fabric pieces lightly glued to a base material. It is then ‘thread painted’ to add colour and definition and quilted to create texture and a three dimensional effect."
Hilary Davies is a fabric artist, based in a Worcestershire village. She specialises in colouful quilted and 3-dimentional collages created from numerous pieces of fabric that reflect her love of the natural world.
