Textile915/6

Wall hanging or bed cover, consisting of three panels. A centre panel of multi-coloured warp-face silk and cotton ikat textile is flanked on either side by panels of dark red-purple shot silk taffeta. The designs on the ikat panel are simple, geometric and linear blocks of colour (predominantly pink, yellow, purple and blue), and the textile has a shiny, glazed surface. The piece is hand quilted with red thread and is lined with cotton gauze, which has a woven plaid pattern in pale blue, tan and white and is pieced along some edges with pink and red cotton textile. The edges are bound with bias strips of yellow and purple striped silk (or cotton and silk) textile.

Textile915/8

Square wall hanging or bed cover made from five panels of boldly patterned silk warp face ikat textile (five colours: bright pink, yellow, purple, blue and pinkish white) stitched together side by side along their selvages. The textile is woven with bright pink weft, giving the object an overall pink appearance. The hanging or cover is edged on all four sides with narrow bias strips of machine printed cotton textile (multi-coloured floral designs on dark red background), and is backed with dark red cotton broadcloth. The ikat side is quilted onto the backing at widely spaced intervals, along the seam lines, using red thread. A 4 cm strip of unbleached cotton textile has been hand sewn to the backing along one edge.
