"Hydrangea"

64" x 64" (2002)

This art quilt was inspired by Dianne Horvath's photography. You can view her website at http://www.horvath.ca . This was a close-up of a hydrangea bloom. Dianne let me use her image in this wall quilt. I "fractured" the colour gradations into 6 shades, machine appliquéd the pieces with an invisible zig zag stitch and free motion machine quilted it in a variety of threads. The stamen buds are three dimensional small balls of fabric-covered batting. Commercial fabrics were used, fossil fern prints and batiks. 

Price: $3,900.00  plus tax and shipping.
