Description:
Inspiration: "This quilt is inspired by a collection of fabrics all from a domestic setting. The title “We Talk About Love, We Talk About Dishwasher Tablets” is a lyric from the song “Seven” by Fever Ray which, to me, sums up the little pleasures and mundanity of domestic life."
Materials: Various Used Fabrics, Bamboo Batting, Cotton Thread
What Makes the Quilt Sustainable: "All the fabrics in this quilt are items I’ve used for many years, secondhand or found items including a tea towel, bed sheets, upholstery fabric, a torn table cloth, a towel, remnants and scraps from making clothes. The wadding is 100% bamboo and the quilting thread is cotton crochet thread."
Technical Information: Hand Quilting, Hand Sewing, Hand Appliqué
