Description:
Artist Statement: "This quilt has its roots in my extensive collection of Eastern European embroidery flower shapes. It was begun in 2016 and totally remade in 2020-2023 following an issue with a longarm quilter. This time, I quilted it myself in sections using the quilt-as-you-go method. The appliqué is my whole-unit method, which meant I could recover the appliqué shapes from the original quilt. All the flowers were cut from ombre batiks."
Techniques: Machine Pieced and Quilted; Hand Appliquéd and Embroidered; Trapunto and Padded Appliqué
Design Source: Eastern European Embroidery from my 30-year collection of documenting shapes
