Blooming Bright 68″ wide x 44″ tall
This quilted art piece was created by painting the image on white cotton fabric. I surrounded it with black paint and then machine quilted the whole thing with lots of thread.
I decided to shape the edges, just for added interest. It is finished with binding.
I use Deco Art So Soft acrylic paints for this type of project.
It’s enjoyable to paint these floral designs and then finish them as a quilt.
The back has a sleeve at the top for easy hanging.
Midnight Blue (Hydrangea) 36″ wide x 41″ tall
This hydrangea initially caught my eye because of the color.

A visit to Patrick’s Point park in Northern California is the inspiration for this quilt piece. We enjoyed the view of the Ocean’s stunning waves –then turned around to head back to the parking lot. This was the view – a canopy tunnel lit with the afternoon sun. I loved it. This is the result.
