Eclipse 2017
AQG 3rd 2018
(31” wide – 31” long) This quilt shows a discharged solar eclipse in front of a swirling sky. Morning glories on the fence are open in the light and closed in the dark. The sky is over inked and discharge areas are ink shadowed. Flower centers are discharged. Leaves and flowers are hand appliqued using my Mylar turned and batted method. Ultra suede is used on closed flowers and beads accent the centers of the ones that are open. I used Machine digitizing on thread stem pieces with Magnifico thread. Silk cord is dyed and couched with Superior Microquilter thread on the fence. I used gold Lumiere paint to highlight the area around moon and the piping. Free motion swirl quilting is used for motion.
