'Meet The Artist' (No:38) | Christine Green | Improv Quilter

Christine’s improv patchwork is inspired by the philosophy of the Gees Bend Quilters. Every scrap of salvaged cloth is used. She sources discarded cloth & preloved garments to make her colourful art. Christine explains how she makes her quilts - using shirt buttons, pockets & plackets - to make layers of interest in each piece of work. Christine worked for the BBC as a Graphic Designer & now uses her love of colour & pattern to create her organic improv quilts. Join Christine and I as we catch up and chat - via Zoom.
