Laura's Gallery - Quilts





'David'

30"w x 52"h
£550
2004

Made for the themed category at the National Patchwork Championships 2004, Old Masters - New Quilts. The wholecloth quilt was hand dyed using Procion dye and folded resists. Colour was then discharged to create a paler section where David's face was drawn in using a variety of pens.

The words are a quote from Michaelangelo talking about how making a sculpture is like a living figure emerging from a hard block of stone. The lettering is stencilled using Markal Paintstiks. The whole quilt is then heavily quilted both by machine and lots of hand seeding.
