Donna Blum sent a photo of her Mermaid Magic quilt, an impressive applique fantasy. She used the Broderie Perse technique, cutting flowers and foliage out of a large-scale print.
I recognized this print right away.
It's from my Moda collection Morris and Company, the Anemone print.
When I looked closer I saw she used the same print in a different colorway for the white anemones and an orange colorway for the Mermaid's hair.
Very clever! how Donna used the orange Anemone for the mermaids hair. Beautiful!
ReplyDeleteI really love her piece and how she used the fabrics from you collection. I do find myself looking at prints and thinking how I could use them in art pieces.

Much more masterful than my clunky broderie perse!
ReplyDeleteThat's absolutely beautiful!
ReplyDeleteAn amazing, gorgeous quilt, as you said VERY clever use of the prints! Sumptuous!
ReplyDeleteImpressive! I especially love how she did the hair. Seems like it was made for that purpose.
ReplyDeleteOh, that is beautiful!
ReplyDeleteThank you all for you wonderful comments. We are so lucky to have such beautiful fabrics to work with in our art. Donna
