After my mini feature on Mandy Pattullo’s work on display the Festival of Quilts I wanted to showcase other talented textile artists who use reclaimed fabrics in their work.
Barbara Wisnoski
Barbara Wisnoski is a Canadian textile artist who creates beautiful wall hangings using recycled fabrics and clothing. I love the subtle painterly effect that is created using simple squares of fabrics. Barbara’s choice of colour is very inspiring.

Caroll Bertin
Caroll Bertin is a French self taught textile artist who uses recycled textiles to create these fun and colourful textile sculptures and hangings. Bertin uses a lot of knitted textiles such as jumpers in her work which give the pieces a useful knitted structure.
