The original cushion cover was made by Mrs.Guner Tokatli with traditional Turkish handcraft ( Türk Işi ) half century ago.
Her daughter Mrs.Isil Sen requested a contemprary design to be applied.We have fulfilled her wish by using shadow applique and shell technique.
Losev is one of the most powerful associations in Turkey which is concerned about leukaemia of kids. We, as GC Patchwork Studio, have organized several events on behalf of Losev for years such as Rainbow Fashion Show.
These small projects which were designed by myself, produced by the mothers of the kids who suffer from leukaemia, and sold for the benefit of those kids.
I feel so honoured to be a small part of that wonderful family.
We have recently started designing antique quilts. Grandmother's Remembrance is the very first design of our studio.
The antique piece was made by Mrs.Hikmet Akyurek about a century ago. Her grand daughter Pelin asked me to design a contemporary quilt for her daughter.
Shadow appliqué and paper piecing was used. Pieced by hand, quilted by hand.
