203S Lozenge Workshop Saturday 6th July
 Session: 2 x 3hr 
Beverley Rebelo
Level: All Levels
 
Bev Rebelo, from Harare, Zimbabwe, is a fibre artist and quilter. She has 35 years’ experience, 
combining traditional techniques with experimental methods of quilting. Her detailed artwork 
combines photography, fabric and thread play. African subjects, colours and landscapes provide the 
creative inspiration that influence her designs. Her thread box is her paint palette, and her needle is 
her brush. She embraces the meditative rhythm of hand sewing and quilting but enjoys the 
spontaneous results of free motion machine quilting.
