“The Gift,” in progress

“The Gift” ready for thread
This is a new piece I am calling “The Gift.” It is based on this photo of a red maple leaf that I took this fall on one of my morning walks:


This is a wholecloth painted quilt; it started out as white fabric, and I am using my favorite acrylic paint, ProChemical & Dye’s Transparent Textile Paint, to paint it. Here are some photos of the painting in progress:






Next comes the thread!

    Wow, Susan!! This is spectacular!! Are the various shades of red just different "layers" of the transparent paint? It's so beautiful! Sure would like to take a class from you!

      Thanks, Maggie! They are different colors of red and orange that I mixed. I'd love to have you in a class! :-)
