Gillian Travis is a renowned textile artist from the UK, this is what she says about this workshop on her website :"My new collection of quilts is made using an innovative method of weaving or interlacing.
Inspired by Scandinavian woven Christmas decorations I have developed the patterns and designs to make fabric blocks that when put together can make a wall hanging, cushion or bag.
Images of these quilts can be seen in my gallery."
