Vivian Broadway prints on fabric using a Gelatine Plate background and layers this with Lino Cut prints to create unique Fat Quarters and Feature Panels for Patchwork and Quilting. Her artworks are often inspired by her overgrown native garden, where she lives in Bayside, Melbourne, with her understanding husband, three children and their three chooks. Prior to devoting more time to hand crafting
her fabrics for Quilting, she started in Interior Design and Decorating, before specialising in Soft Furnishings. Here she was able to indulge her passion for quality fabrics and started developing her Patchworking interests. Vivian favours creating simple and stylized designs and is particularly interested in the appeal of hand crafted textile art and the interest imperfections create, adding to the uniqueness of each piece. Vivian is available to conduct workshops and coaching on Gelatine and Lino Cut Printing, helping participants create their own hand printed fabrics for their patchwork quilting and other special projects. Vivian's Quilts are available for sale, as well as her hand printed fabrics in individual pieces and within charm packs. She also accepts commissions for specific feature panels and quilts.
