Artichoke

This quilt was made using a photo of an overblown artichoke as inspiration.  It was dried up and left over from last years garden.  It caught my eye and I decided to use it as I experimented painting on silk.  The result was a fun project - of an unusual flower.

The use of silk has resulted in a very "light weight" feeling quilt.

It was displayed at the International Quilt Festival in Houston in 2021.  Also at the Redwood Art Assn. Feb. 2022 (given Honorable Mention)
