I made this quilted wall hanging after a camping trip to Knepp Estate in Southern England. It was incredibly beautiful, the bluebells were out and humming with fragrance, the sun was balmy and it was my first night away without my baby - freedom! Yet beneath all this joy was an undercurrent from the war in Ukraine and Putin threatening nuclear war. Whilst at Knepp, I gathered some rabbit fur from the ground, and later made it into a protective amulet which is attached to the quilt. The quilt features a hanging sleeve through which to pass a hanging rod that rests on nails. The hanging equipment is invisible when the quilt is viewed. Please note: this quilt is for sale but is currently on tour at the Hastings Museum and Art Gallery until 15 January. If you purchase it before then, it will be dispatched soon after. Thank you for your patience. If you have any questions, please do get in touch.

My name is Lila Chatfield and I am an artist focused on quilts and occasionally ceramics and painting, living in Brighton, UK. My colourful hand sewn wall hangings are narrative and expressive in style, embracing a contemporary folk aesthetic. Thematically, my work germinates from mundane happenings and often explores stories of mental states, cognitive dissonance and the edges of birth and death.I draw upon current popular culture, worldwide events and the wilderness of dreams to compose my work which features both abstract and figurative details. I play in an intuitive, improvisational way, often with discarded or vintage cloth and found objects. The boundaries of what is and isn’t a quilt are blurred in my work, which often features sculptural elements. My wall hangings are almost completely hand sewn, imbuing them with an organic feel that embraces the joy of the imperfect and the unexpected. A self-taught artist, I studied English and American Studies at the University of Sussex and worked as a secondary English teacher and later as an education officer before dedicating my time to my art practice.
