Quilt Inspiration

"Act 3" is just one of the sumptuous works in Elaine Quehl's Foliage Gallery. The soft texture of the leaves makes us want to reach out and touch them. Beyond its immediate visual impact, what makes this piece so intriguing is the nearly microscopic detail of the leaves themselves: the stem, veins, curved and furled edges, and the appearance of dappled sunlight and shadows. In the close-up photo below you can see the exquisite thread painting that accentuates the flowing lines of the leaves.

Spirit Series Quilts

Quiltangel: Spirit Series Quilts "The "Spirit of Passion" was made using a new technique for me. I layered three fabrics and sewed them together with curved lines then cut away layers to reveal layers below. To add interest and finish off raw edges, various embroidery stitches were used. This was a very pleasant process."
