Alison talks us through the making of the Medieval Pictorial quilts.
Description
Alison is part of a group of ladies who have been involved in making quilts, which will be 40ft long x 7ft high in total, and double sided to celebrate the 800 years since the signing of Magna Carta.
You can learn about the encaustic tiles each of which represents a letter of the alphabet and which surround the quilt, and which will have a message from the 39th Clause of Magna Carta which deals with human rights.
Alison also gives us a step-by-step guide through the fused applique procress and discusses the thread she uses, as well as how they embellish the panels to give them more bling.
Their Facebook page is under Magna Carta Quilt Association and their Twitter thingy is @MagnaCartaQuilt.
You can find some information about sponsorship in their website.
For more information about the actual tiles, these were made by Westfield Laser Design.
