Gloria Loughman
Gloria Loughman is well known for her magnificent landscape quilts depicting the essence of the scenic wonders of Australia. Her quilts incorporate a wide range of techniques from colour wash to appliquι fabric dyeing, printing and painting; whatever is needed for a particular effect.
Gloria lives in a country town in Northern Victoria called Kerang. She is a trained secondary school teacher. Her initiation into the world of patchwork occurred about 10 years ago when she was recovering from an unwelcome but necessary bout of chemotherapy --what began as therapy developed into a passion and Gloria dabbled in many areas of quilt making. In 1996 she began to make art quilts that reflected the Australian landscape and is challenged to reproduce, in fabric, the many images she has seen on her travels around Australia.
She is in great demand as a tutor both in Australia and overseas and her quilts have been featured in many publications including Australian Patchwork and Quilting, Quilting Down Under, Quilters Newsletter and NZ Quilter. Her quilts have also won numerous awards in Australia, USA, Europe and Japan. If you wish to learn a bit more and see photos of her work, please have a look at her website on www.glorialoughman.com
We are extremely fortunate to have Gloria available to teach workshops during the time of Quilt West in 2004. Dont miss out on this opportunity.

Using pieces of fabric instead of watercolours, you will create a textile painting combining a subtle colourwash background with machine appliquιd flowers or abstract shapes. Basic design principles and colour choices will be discussed and a number of different colourwash techniques demonstrated. Instruction will be given for satin stitch, soft edge and 3-D appliquι. (Optional kits of fabrics and patterns are available).
Date: Saturday and Sunday, 22 and 23 May, 2004 Time: 9am-3pm
Cost: $140.00 members/$150.00 non-members
You will learn an overlaying technique that will allow you to construct an original landscape design, with easy curved piecing. Some embroidery and free motion stitching instruction for extra texture and dimension will be included. You also have the option of hand painting a piece of fabric for the sky or background (small fee for fabric painting). This workshop is suitable for new and experienced quilters. Note - There is also an optional kit, which includes hand dyed and painted fabrics and pattern, available for this class.
***The optional kits are available for $55.00 each and may be viewed on Glorias website, www.glorialoughman.com , look under kits. There are three available for the Landscape class and one for the Stitching Watercolours class. Please indicate below if you wish to order one of the kits.***
