Delia Cecil
I started quilting in 1998 making several traditional bed
quilts. After completing City & Guilds Part 1 my interest turned
to pictorial appliqué mostly of nature, wildlife & local Suffolk
scenes. My inspiration usually comes from photographs taken by myself and
by my late father. My speciality is machine work, including machine
appliqué, free machine quilting and free machine
embroidery.
I have entered my work in many major quilt shows
& have won several awards, including a 1st at the Quilts UK and a 3rd
along with a judges choice at the Festival of Quilts at the NEC in
Birmingham. My work has been featured in several magazines including
Magic Patch, Patchwork & Quilting, Popular
Patchwork and Fabrications. Three of my quilts have also
been accepted into a juried show, The World Quilt and Textile Tour,
and two have toured America.
At the present time I'm
currently into dyeing fabric and have experimented with
indigo and natural dyeing techniques which I have included in my
recent works. Being a member of Majyk Scraps has been, and continues
to be, of much enjoyment and inspiration to me. We meet once a month to
share ideas and best practices.
