Welcome to my website

Christine Seager
I am an embroiderer turned art quilter. 

Over the last 7 years, my work has explored well balanced design using a limited colour palette and the Rules of Thirds, often incorporating circles.  Strong colours and simple shapes excite me.

My work is either improvisionally cut and pieced or cut from my own patterns
which are scaled up from my printmaking. My designs are driven by a desire for clean  stark quilts that stand out from a distance. I use my own hand dyed fabrics 
which are also printed and discharged. ​I use simple stitching to integrate the work.
​
As a relief from the very disciplined design work, I have started exploring whole cloth using mark making and text within a theme, “fabrications and script”. This different element of my work has political and social commentary. It can be
very messy as I use various marker pens and dribbled acrylic inks. These quilts include hand stitch for texture.

I have had three quilts accepted for the prestigious Fine Art Quilt Masters competition at the Festival of Quilts, NEC, Birmingham, UK. Other quilts have been accepted for exhibitions touring in Europe, China, South Africa, the United States of America and Canada. In 2019, I received the NACQJ Award of Merit ​for Lime Zest at the Mancuso World Quilt Competition.
​
I am a member of SAQA, Studio Art Quilts Association and SAQA regional representative for over three years. I have curated and organised three SAQA
European and ME touring Exhibition and managed and curated Contemporary Quilt Challenges and multiple CQ West. Exhibitions.
