I devised my Chop and Go technique in 1998 when I was commissioned to make a piece for the Charles Henry Foyle Textile Award. My quilt Skye Escape I won joint 2nd for Technical Excellence and was followed by four more Skye Escape quilts, as well as those pictured here. As I explored new ideas the technique evolved into Log Cabin With Attitude.

Burrator
This quilt was made using my Log Cabin With Attitude technique. The colours were inspired by the fabrics and by the view of Burrator Reservoir in Dartmoor. I am constantly inspired by nature and the landscape around me, which provide rich and ever changing source of colour. 2002.
