Fabric pieces that when laid out are slightly bigger than the base piece, plus some extra. These can be mid-weight, though some lighter and some heavier is totally ok.

Thread of your choice + matching needles. You could use Sashiko, Embroidery thread / floss, fine sewing machine thread - a combination is lovely to try.
-
Quilter's pegs or small clothes line pegs

optional - thin quilt wadding or flannelette

Ellie Beck is a textile artist working in an instinctual and improvisational manner; process is an important part of her work. She uses naturally dyed, vintage, upcycled, and antique Japanese or Indian fabrics, and honours the story of her materials. The mindful process of slow stitching allows Ellie to express her quiet, slow life, to explore motherhood, grief, and small simple moments.
While improv quilting, slow stitching, and botanical dye form the basis of Ellieâs work, she doesnât limit herself to one particular outlet. Writing, photography, painting, other textile crafts merge together in her days of making and creativity. A project takes its own form; a conversation between materials, moments, and possibilities â the âwhat ifâ of exploring ideas.
Ellie lives and works in the rainforest, often at her kitchen table or garden studio, in Northern NSW, Australia. She works under the name Petalplum.
