This is what I made for my end of year exihbtion for my National Diploma in Art and Design course, I took a few years ago,I have a love for textiles and had the Idea to try and remember my most frav/ happiest memories from my childhood and make a patch work quilt for my end of year exhibition so I could keep it forever.It turned out that it looked better a individial pieces so that is how I decided to keep it.
We had to do about Childhood memorys as it was the chosen topic for that year!
If any one fancys buying any textiles pieces just let me know .Hope you like them as much as I do! enjoy! ...

When I was little my pa used to tell me and my sister that if you found some pattened pottery In the rivers or dug it up from the ground that it was real treasure!! He must have told us alot as me and my sister still call it treasure even these days! hense the pic!
He he! me and philippas experimental cooking, me and my bestie used to make up games when we where younger ! we used to cook up some treats using what ever was in our kitchens or blind fold each other and make either our worst or most frav meal and wed have to eat whatever they gave us,u'd never know whether it was a good food or not until it was in your mouth! lots of funny horrible tasting memories from this!
We as a family always go to hayle for a cheap summer get away, we stay in a really retro campsite where all the beach chalets have the same deco as from the 70's its really cool! Its lovely and chilled there and there are the biggest sand dunes in england there.When the sun went down and we were finished on the beach me and my sister used to race and glide down these Sand dunes on our body boards! I always loved the feeling of feeling soo free running down the dunes !
The best game of my childhood wolfie wolfie! made up game by my pa, he made it up so well I always used to think it was an actual game! It was basically my dad was the wolf out of the big bad wolf story and me and my sister were the pigs! we had to get round the whole garden in a certain way with out being court/eaten! If you got court you had to go to the coldreen where the wolf ate all his things he'd court that day! hah .So many lovely memories from this game.
