Meet The New Quilt Artist: Jill Rumble

Name of Artwork: Landlines - Shadows II

Jill’s work has always been influenced by being raised in the country. She finds that the patterns of the shifting shadows found in our landscape help to form the designs and selection of materials.

This piece is about memories from childhood and a farming upbringing. Eco dyeing with eucalyptus leaves and onion skins as well as leaf printing help to connect it to country. Machine and hand stitching and raw edges bring texture and wonderment to the piece … bringing it to life.

Marks in our landscape are left by humans, animals and nature ……. sometimes conflicting, but more often beautiful.
