Maria gave an interesting talk about the developments in her textile work over the years. These included the use of old family photographs, albums, letters, dressmaking patterns etc., and an interest in ‘women’s history and she had brought a range of finished pieces which included aspects of all these things in her work.
Her love of poetry and lettering – shown in the pieces below were part of her display of personal work relating to her family history and had been stitched on old blankets using reverse applique, machine embroidery and many other techniques.
To see more photographs and information on an amazing
co-incidence that happened when she came across a bundle of old letters in an antique shop in Cheshire (too long to relate here) go to Maria’s website at – www.mariawalker.co.uk
