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.
