Silk + Quilt
Silk painting, quilted
Leaves provide an endless source of good designs. These five cottonwood leaves and their frosty background could have been framed with wood or metal. The quilting provides a new variety of framing techniques to pick up the colors in the composition.
Small quilts are perfect for decorating more intimate rooms. They are east to hang, store compactly, and don’t break when you drop them! Some quilts are hung matted, behind glass for safekeeping, but it takes away the temptation to touch the stitching.
By all means, touch the quilt! It is far more than an image.
