This original design one of a kind fiber art quilt would be a beautiful addition to your collection of fine art. The three dimensional red flower is the centerpiece for the design.
The art quilt features a background of hand painted warm and natural batting with rich colors of blue, purple and red. The border fabric is a Batik of many colors that blends with the painted batting. The binding fabric is the same dark eggplant color fabric that was used in the back petals of the flower.
The flower was created petal by petal with Batik fabric and black yarn was stitched thru the centers to secure it to the background.
The center of the flower is a stuffed, made in Japan, yo-yo. The stem for the flowers is a piece of green wool. The two leaves are from silk florals and are stitched to the surface with pieces of coordinating yarn. One of the leaves hangs beyond the edge of the piece by 2 inches.
The edges of the batting were sewn to the surface with an irregular design and some parts along the edges has been cut away.
This fiber art piece has been machine quilted.
Purple beads were stitched randomly along the border and other fibers were stitched to the surface to embellish.
The fiber art quilt measures 15 inches wide by 18 inches in length.
The back of the piece is beautifully finished and there is a hanging sleeve for a dowel. The art quilt requires one small nail to hang it from the middle.
There is a signed and dated artist label attached to the back.

Doing your own fabric painting allows you to have an original piece of fabric to create your design. This piece was inspired by my first attempt at painting batting.
