PAULINE BURBIDGE QUILTS

ABOUT

I am a textile artist, designer and quiltmaker. The landscape, plant-forms and seasonal changes, here in the Scottish Borders, provide endless resource and inspiration for my textile work. This website concentrates on showing recent work. I hope you enjoy it, feel uplifted and inspired!

I draw, stitch, print and collage my way through many processes to create what I see as ‘textile landscapes’, making unique, large-scale, stitched, collaged and quilted textile wall hangings, as well as functional, usable quilts. They are all made from a broad range of fine cottons and silks. I immerse myself in the process of making and fuse this together with the imagery that inspires me. I never tire of making, creating and inventing with cloth, colour and texture; it is where I find balance and contentment. Textiles are my celebrated medium, linking fine-art and craftwork.

My career spans over more than four decades – throughout this time I have developed my own unique visual language. Many of my quiltworks have been purchased by Museums. For example, the Victoria and Albert Museum, and the Whitworth Art Gallery, here in the UK, and the International Quilt Museum in the USA. I have a printed card ‘The Quilts of Pauline Burbidge in MUSEUM COLLECTIONS’, which is available on request to UK and European addresses only. Email me with your name and full postal address and I will be happy to send you one.
