Creative quilts
I am exploring the many ideas, stitches and techniques that go to make up my totally unique pieces of textile work - usually in the form of quilts and wall-hangings.
Welcome
Ash Creativity – the canopy name under which I work. I am Anne Shaw Hewitt and through the art and craft of hand-spinning, stitching weaving and other art media I work to produce items that help create comfort, warmth and decoration but also can hold meaning of deeper things.
Native sheep breeds
In the British Isles we have many different breeds of sheep that allows the use of a wide, natural colour pallette. Many of these breeds are now classed as rare and in focusing on the use of their fleece in my yarn making, I hope to have a small part in securing their furure.
Quilting
An age old method of creating warmth and comfort in the home environment but here in my creative quilting section will be those pieces that are also inspired by the natural world and the world of spirit, myth and legend.
