Julia Allison brought a rainbow of colour to our first November meeting. Much of Julia's work has been working in collaboration with church schools to produce a variety of banners and cloths for use in school assemblies. Working with paintings produced by the children, workshops with lots of cutting and stitching produce the end result and as children tend to chose a palette of rainbow colours, these are prevalent in her work.
Julia has also exhibited her own work in several local galleries and also has a life long interest in quilts. Her current project is to make a quilt showcasing many of her favourite fabrics and using lots of vintage embroidered items.
