I’ve talked about the International Quilt Study Center’s quilt of the month, but this month I gasped when I opened this one by M. Joan Lintault – gorgeous! (there’s a close up on the site by the way)
This is what really got me:
“In her pieces Lintault employs an innovative construction technique. Beginning with white cotton, Lintault dyes the bases for the individual forms. These she later embellishes extensively using applique, quilting, and embroidery. Finally the forms are affixed to a lace under layer, which creates the illusion that the objects are floating in space. “
So feel free to oooh, ahh and enjoy!
