http://gilliancooper.blogspot.com/2013/10/inspiration-fabric-manipulation-by-ruth.html
Art, craft, projects and life with Gillian Cooper. Artist, Tutor, Writer and Mother. Monday, 28 October 2013. Inspiration: Fabric Manipulation by Ruth Singer. One of my samples based on Ruth's book. One of my greatest pleasures in life, alongside art, is reading. Books have always played an important role in my life and I doubt there has been a day in almost 40 years when I haven’t had at least one book on the go. I wouldn’t swap my job now! Fabric Manipulation, 150 creative sewing techniques. It is amaz...

The Quilters' Games by The "No Name" Quilters. The best in show is picked from the winners of each category and I find it hard to comprehend how it could be considered better than the pictorial or art quilt winners, on a level of design or technical skill.

Crafting a Life: Starting the C&G Certificate Course
http://gilliancooper.blogspot.com/2015/06/starting-c-certificate-course.html
Art, craft, projects and life with Gillian Cooper. Artist, Tutor, Writer and Mother. Monday, 22 June 2015. Starting the C&G Certificate Course. The City and Guilds courses have finally started. Over the past four days, there have been six very enthusiastic and occasionally bewildered students in my studio starting on their C&G Patchwork and Quilting Certificate. Chrystine's cake, which was followed by an equally delicious one made by Isobel. What great students! Some of the colour onto fabric samples.

Crafting a Life: How-to: Faux Chenille
http://gilliancooper.blogspot.com/2013/08/how-to-faux-chenille.html
Art, craft, projects and life with Gillian Cooper. Artist, Tutor, Writer and Mother. Tuesday, 27 August 2013. One of the best bits of teaching City and Guilds Patchwork and Quilting is having to explore techniques and make samples. I suppose you get to know what you like and it is easy to stick with it rather than experimenting with new ideas, so it is good to have a reason to play with techniques which are not part of my normal repertoire. And so it is with faux chenille. Bright colours work well. This ...
