Working with fabric on sheds has been a meandering development from the quilts, ending in one of those "light bulb" moments when I found myself sat in the garden in freezing November rain, glueing fabric onto the garden shed while my husband was at a football match. This has caused laughter, bewilderment, and most satisfyingly, the changes of heart from cynics once the task is complete and a patchwork, flowery building sits comfortably in the corner of their garden. It becomes mellow, mixes in between the plants and flowers as if it has always been like that.

The use of a shed as refuge from the world, and a space from which to project yourself is a recurring theme that I'm still pursuing.

There are also some photos of the sheds I've done on some allotments on the top of a hill in Newcastle-Under-Lyme.
