Size 11" w X 14 " h

Artist's Statement:

"The sweet summer breeze caresses my face, and small waves on the pond gently kiss the lily pad."

Techniques: The water background was created by machine piecing strips of silk fabrics. The printed cotton flower and lily pad raw-edged applique was fused to the pieced water background. Quilting was done using the machine free-motion technique.

Materials: Silks and cotton fabrics were used. Threads used were nylon invisible thread, cotton and rayon threads (Sulky, Isacord, and Maderia). Batting used was Thermore polyester batting.
