She is also interested in usingquilted lines to create graceful movement, sculptural shapes and decorativepatterns. Inspiration comes from relief sculpture, circles, patterns in nature, manmade patterns and decoration on other textiles. Most of the lines are freemachine quilted, a technique which is her specialty.“Amazed for long time by Sheena’s artworks, this year I decided to develop,in cooperation with the artist, two thread collections inspired by her workof arts themes Autumn and Seascape. Composed by a selection of colorsembracing nature and landscapes, the collections will be both available in100per cent Aurifil cotton 50wt.” So, watch this space…Aurifil Threads, T: +39 296 798833, E: info@aurifil.it, W: www.aurifil.com C68 craftfocus
