![]() "New Hope, PA, Reflections 1"
Machine appliqued, fused applique, free-motion quilting, fabric paints.
- Juried into Tactile Architecture at Int'l Quilt Festival 2003. Exhibited at IQF Houston, 2003, IQF Chicago, 2004 and QuiltMarket, Pittsburgh, PA, 2004. Based on a photograph I took of a New Hope, PA colonial's window box, with dappled light hitting the siding and glass. This is what I consider "watercoloring with fabrics," letting the commercial batiks be my palette, allowing their mottled values to act as the light. Here's a closeup of the machine quilting. I used a very loose style of quilting around the flowers, to simulate a watercolor image with pen-and-ink over it. |
