Lily at Dusk - September 30, 2011

Lily at Dusk - September 30, 2011

     I made this quilt,  " Lily at Dusk"  ( 29"x 34" ) , and finished it in March of 2002.   It is featured in the book  "Quilting in the Morning Calm" by Shirley MacGregor and Sheila Steers on pages 30-31.  It traveled in a "traveling exhibit" to many venues and countries .   I was ask by Shirley MacGregor, a fiber artist, to participate and make a quilt from one of the paintings of Sim Saimdang, a famous Korean woman who lived in the early 16th century for this book.    Saimdang did paintings of flowers and insects on screens.
     I used cotton fabrics, iridescent fabric, ultra suede and beads on this quilt.  It is machine pieced and quilted.
