45. "Chintz Bird (Second Place)"
Pat Holly
Ann Arbor, Michigan
Decorative machine stitched background, stitched raw edge fused, machine appliquéd, machine quilted.
This quilt reflects many aspects of my quiltmaking journey. I love antique textiles (this was inspired by an 18th C. Indian chintz fabric) and want to bring these old images to the present. Embellishing the background with machine stitches is a technique I've been using for years. I enjoy using modern machines and exploring ways to incorporate the stitching into my quilts. Finally, I continue to be intrigued with the bird image, both real and imagined.
