Mandy Pattullo sees beauty in faded and worn materials, often using pieces of old and unpicked quilts in her work. Each small piece is treasured, and she works intuitively, collaging vintage fabrics together. Her work is embellished with appliqué and embroidery stitches yet individual elements are never overwhelmed. Color, composition and balance remain vital elements.
