thread and thrift skip to main skip to sidebar thread and thrift my web site http www mandypattullo co uk my etsy shop https www etsy com shop mandypattullo tuesday 16 june 2020 the shop is now open it has been a while since i have posted here we have all been living through turbulent times and many of us have lost loved ones or have not been able and still are unable to see loved ones i have been making work a bit but have had a frozen shoulder which is still ongoing and is preventing me from sewing for very long i have been working with a darker palette using victorian velvet and silk patchwork bits usually i keep these as samples for workshops but who knows when i can teach again so am now letting them go and it will spur me on to make more this coincides with me opening a new online shop with big cartel so if you go to my website and click on shop it will take you there rather than the old etsy shop here are some recent pieces all for sale here posted by mandy pattullo at 07 17 no comments saturday 18 april 2020 borrowed from boro i recently taught a course inspired by boro textiles it is important not to copy exactly their techniques or aesthetic but i think ok to take inspiration from this textile story which emerged out of poverty i twist it and make it my own by not using indigo but using pieces of very worn quilts which i have unpicked to reveal their raggy layers sourced in the north east of england in conjunction with other blue scraps i patchwork these together and then stitch into them decoratively unlike the original boro textiles they are not designed to be useful so the stitching is not there to hold it all together here are my pieces laid out on my desk this morning and then images of each individual piece posted by mandy pattullo at 10 06 no comments coronavirus diary coronavirus has really squashed me creatively and i feel unable to do much as my thoughts are with my loved ones and friends and i feel anxious and fearful for them and me i however have been doing a sort of textile diary since lock down marking time i guess each day i sew on one little scrap turning over each day so the marks of the previous day are in evidence just for me contemplative and slow stitching to start the day posted by mandy pattullo at 09 56 no comments saturday 14 march 2020 gees bend this week i have been to see the we will walk exhibition at turner contemporary in margate a long way to go from the north east of england but worth it to see the quilts which haven t been here before and probably will not come again loved the way polly bennett 1922 2002 described hers as get togethers i am going to start using that phrase for my collages for those of you who can t get there here are pictures of some of the quilts the rest of the exhibits are also deeply moving and thought provoking posted by mandy pattullo at 08 21 no comments tuesday 18 february 2020 fish i have been working on some new samples for a course i am teaching later on this year rather pleased with this cod and it was fin to work with metallics and spangles again all hand stitched as usual posted by mandy pattullo at 02 51 no comments tuesday 11 february 2020 hanging by a thread at the weekend we had a night on holy island and i managed to photograph these wonderful pieces of cloth blowing in the severe gales before they blew away they are covering an upturned boat there are several old boats on lindisfarne like this in one of the pictures you can see how they echo the castle on its mound a very special place posted by mandy pattullo at 14 10 no comments saturday 18 january 2020 lapwing i have been doing portraits of birds that are on the british red alert list this means they are in serious decline in terms of numbers here is a lapwing they
