Not a Sunflower or a Bird

Lest I give the impression that I only favor birds and sunflowers neither appear here.

Made by Kay Haerland from Australia the textures are outstanding. The piece includes stenciling, painting, rusting and burning. She also did something she calls "interlacing on Solvy." Her materials were lace, fleece, tulle, Tyvek, batiks, Ultrasuede, wool, and more. This quilt won a blue ribbon for "Best Use of Color."

Beyond the texture this quilt is not really dimensional but the thread work is so exquisite here the mouse looks 3-d.
