About Us

Art to Stitch welcomes members who wish to extend their skills and share their expertise in Art Textiles.

Our members all have different specialist skills and approaches to design and contemporary quilt making. Some approach the creative process from an art base others from an experiential perspective; each producing very different 2 and 3D textiles ranging from traditional quilts ro art textiles and wall art.

We are all self starters and self motivated but enjoy sharing our work, being inspired by each other and supporting our individual development.
The group seeks opportunities to exhibit their work.

Our members say they value participation in the group because it is:

The group meets on the second Monday of every month in Kislingbury near Northampton.

More exhibition Information

Jill has now sorted the measurements for our space at Milton Keynes Literary Festival. Her comments are below.

   Last week the steering committee confirmed with Holiday Inn that we can have access from 5pm on Friday to set up.

"I have now viewed the room at the Holiday Inn.  The wall that we can use is not as large as first thought measuring 26 feet.  It has a bar running the length which would take picture hooks or similar and this bar is 6 feet 3 inches above the skirting board.  Background wall colour is a sort of pale greeny/grey/cream.  I have attached a photo of the bar.  This would lend itself to smaller pieces and in view of this I think we should limit any pieces to a maximum length of 5 feet.  In this room there is also an alcove which is about 8 feet long and 18 inches wide which could perhaps take one of our quilt stands."
