Description:

Artist Statement: "I made this quilt for my daughter who loves flowers. My daughter will come of age this year. I made this quilt in the hope that she will be able to spend her coming of age with a bright smile. It is my style to make quilts with embroidery. I embroidered the embroidery design as I thought of it, without drafting it. The heart motif is Crazy quilts. The quilting is hand quilting and Japanese sashiko (boro). I enjoyed the many colonial knot stitches."

 

Techniques: Hand Pieced, Appliquéd, Embellished, Embroidered, and Quilted; Japanese Sashiko (Boro)

I saw this exquisite quilt this week in Grand Rapids AQS. Once you get close to it, you realize the black areas are actually the sheet hanging behind the quilt. The black areas are actually open work. Beautiful
